i have two quick questions, i'm from the k/w area and here a regular corn goes for $60-$80. in one store i found a 'super creamsicle' corn. fell in love i bought 'it' for $150, did i get hosed on the price? and other than REALLY bright colors. what does the 'super' mean?

second question, its about 14" long, and i was feeding 1 pinkie, twice a week, this week, i skipped a day, then just gave one. and thought that the snake didn't look at all 'bulgy'. so the next day i gave her two more. she ate them pretty quick and even tried to climb into the bucket where our other snake's mice were. just wondering, how much should i be feeding her? i wanna feed it twice a week to help encourage some rapid growth (have a 125 gal vivarium waiting for her). two pinkies or a fuzzy too much? thanks!!

here's a pic. you can see the bulge of the mice near the bottom of the pic, and she's dull near her 2nd half, because she's part way through a shed and only hear head came off so far.
