How often do I fed my baby corn he is about 2 months right now. He was being
Fed every 7 days!

That sounds about right.

Feeding on a normal once per week basis will generally develop a snake from hatchling to adult in about three years

Already he is really cranky and tries to bite me and he is acting liking he is searching for food!
Do I feed him or wait till Wednesday when it would have been
7 days???
I am new so I dont know

so I am sorry if this is a dumb question

Not a dumb question, You will not hurt your snake one bit if you feed it now, but remember to leave it alone for a couple days to digest, or you will risk it throwing up.

3 years? Thats longer then I thought it takes. I give my little corn a pinkie a week and expect him to get fairly big in about a year or so

A three year old corn is classed as "adult size", i fed prey 2x the girth of the snake every 7 days for first year then dropped back to every 14 days from then on.

my baby corn is 13 grams and 19" and he eats 2 pinkies every 7 days. Soon to go to 1 fuzzy every 7 days.
