Is he eating enough?

sjenkins Nov 22, 2003 05:43 PM

This is a pic of my new corn eating. I threw in the quarter for size comparison. He eats 2 of these f/t pinks every 4-5 days. Is this enough, to much, or about right? I have about 25 left then will probably switch to fuzzies. Does this sound right?

Sorry, see if this works.

Fine looking snake! Generally, the snake will determine it's own feeding schedule. The food should be 1 to 1 1/2 times the diameter of the snake. With that in mind, it will probably be a while before it is ready for fuzzies. If you try to feed it too much, or too big of an item, you risk having it regurgitate it. I hope this helps.

Godd luck,
Todd

That's pretty much what I was feeding my corn at that size. When they can swallow 3 pinks and you can't even tell, try switching up to a small fuzzie.
