I just purchased my first snake, a very friendly small corn snake. I understand that babies feed on pinkies from the time they hatch. I've fed my bearded dragon pinkies on ocassion and even the smallest one I've ever bought seems too big for her to eat. What size pinkie should I be looking for?

go to a pet store look for the mice on ice brand. they're expensive as anything but they will be the size you need for a baby cornsnake. just remember you want to feed him a mouse with the girth approximate to the LARGEST part of the body (remember the jaws expand and the neck does too)
