Another Newbie
Hi, I'm basically a newbie to snake ownership. I've had my seven year old, orange, Corn for fourteen months. She was a rescue from a young family member. I think she's stunted in growth. She's only 49". She's shedding about every six weeks.
I've been learning as I go. Love having this snake. We just upgraded her viv, to a 36"x18"x18". She was in a foot smaller aquarium. I still get nervous I'm not feeding her enough. She's recently graduated to 1 adult mouse & 1 hopper, from 3 hoppers. She'd just look at me after eating like she wanted more. Even with the adult and hopper she does this, and about three days later comes out looking for more.
I've read that you can over feed so I try to only feed her about every 10-14 days but she seems to be out allot more lately. Thankful we can learn more from this great forum.

Re: Another Newbie
Welcome and best wishes. Sounds like your corn could take larger and more frequent meals. Do you know how much she weighs? I usually feed my colubrids 10-15% of their body weight every 7 days. My kings do slow down a little bit in the winter though.

Re: Another Newbie
Thanks everyone!!!
No, I don't know how much she weighs. I fed her yesterday and the same thing? Can I feed her 2 adult mice at one feeding? She seems like I'm giving her a snack with 1 adult and 1 hopper....ahhahhaha!
