How often to corns, Have a poo and a wee, Whats 'Normal'..? He's been fed 1 pinkie every wedensday and saturday....?

How can i tell between 'poo' and 'spew' is there a Major difference?

How suseptible(Spelling) are corns to dust/deoderant/aftershave etc?

How often should i bath him, if at all?

Should i move on to 2 pinkies every wedensday and saturday, or stick to what im doing now? Considering he takes the pinkies really fast at the moment.

All info would be great. Thanks Anthony.

You need some caresheets.South Mountain has one so does Kathy loves site.You can also type cornsnake caresheets into any search engine and find what you need.Corns for the most part are the easiest snakes to care for....Paul.

As often as you feed them.

He's been fed 1 pinkie every wedensday and saturday....?

How can i tell between 'poo' and 'spew' is there a Major difference? Poo will have yellow liquid with black poo and maybe some brown and white. Spew looks like you can still identify that it used to be a mouse, it will smell nastier than poo....you will know it's gross. Somtimes the poo was not completely digested either and you can see a little bit that isn't regular poo but that doesn't happen unless the snake was cold.

How suseptible(Spelling) are corns to dust/deoderant/aftershave etc?
Don't worry about it but don't go rubbing aftershave on your snake.
How often should i bath him, if at all? Bath him only if you want to to keep him clean for handling. I wouldn't wash him more than 3 times a month.

Should i move on to 2 pinkies every wedensday and saturday, or stick to what im doing now?
Two pinkies a week is just fine. Or if you want to increase growth speed you can alternat 2 pinkies at once and then 5 days later only one pinky and then 5 days later another 2 pinkies at once. But what you are doing currently is just fine too.

Hope this helps, and I would also suggest reading a couple different care sheets.
