Wow really? i wont feed her every week? every 2 weeks i thought? thats what the previous owners said...i fed her tonight now i wont feed her again till the 16th...
Feeding every other week as you're planning to, for a 2yr old corn snake, is perfectly OK. I'd stick to that plan.
She's not going to try and bite you because you fed in her cage... Your hands won't smell like mouse when you're going in to change water or handle her, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If you do get a small bite, it's most likely a defensive one because she's a bit nervous. But most corns are real tame and get used to handling pretty quickly. Make sure she's eaten at least twice for you before you handle her though! This will make sure she has enough time to get relay settled in. It'll also give her more time to get used to the sight of you first
Here's the video I promised you of Pika eating... it's 6 minutes long, but I've included text throughout it explaining some stuff. Hopefully it puts your mind at ease a bit about the feeding process. They look kind of awkward at times, as if they're struggling, but it's all natural.
And don't judge my music choice... LOL!!!!!

I would hold of on holding him until 2 days after your next feeding, and he should have no problem taking an adult mouse, snakes can get massive sized prey down. I need to upload the video of my BP taking a medium rat. You wouldn't think its possible, but he does it.
Another question for yall!!! I got my heat mat and thermostat in the mail today, bella just ate last night should i just keep using the lamp untill shes done her system? or would it be ok to do the heat mat now? as it will be moving her take...
I think most folks will advise you to leave her for a couple of days Kylie. Has she been hiding all day after her feed last night ?

No Kylie you misunderstand me, sorry. I just meant, when you saw her today you were like, i want to hold you, but I know I can't.
Alessia has way way more knowledge than me, hopefully she'll log in soon and help you out, I know she's given you lots of advice, but going on what Iv'e picked up, I'd say give it a couple of days to let her digest her feed before hooking up the mat.
