I just bought an Albino corn snake, its a baby, about a month old. I want my snake to get bigger, what can i do?

Congratulations on your new corn! Try using the max feeding/growth rate... I started out feeding my snow corn 1 frozen/thawed pinky mouse every 5 days, then after a few times doing that, moved her up to 2 every 5 days, THEN 3 pinkies every 5 days. She's 9 months old/20 inches now and on fuzzies.

Thanks for the...diet?
I'll try it and i'll let you know how it goes!

I'd recommend waiting for her to grow normally. Just feed her, enjoy her "childhood" & watch her grow normally. Feed her once a week.

Maxing on feeding or "Powerfeeding" can cause the pin head syndrome, where your snakes body is too big for its head. That is a visable sign of what is wrong with powerfeeding. It can also put too much stress on your snakes organs and cause internal problems. I fed my baby snake 1 pinkie every 5 days. He is now big enough for fuzzys,and gets 1 every 7-10 days. I let him tell me when he is hungery. When he is, he will start hunting in his enclosure.

I don't see anything wrong with feeding 1 pinkie every 5 days because they are not as nutrious and take less time to digest. More than 1 probably isn't the best idea, although, I am sure there are plenty who have done or do it now without any problems.
Once a snake is big enough for fuzzys, it's best feed fuzzys because they are more nutrious.

Good luck,
Brett
