Snakes grow at different rates, so it's hard to give an accurate (even a ballpark) figure on how big he should be.
As for fuzzies, then use the feeding rule, so long as it's no bigger than 1.5 times the thickest part of his body.
How much of a bulge is showing after he eats? |

to be honest he realy doesnt have to much of a bulge after he eats.
i jst dont wanna over feed him or under feed him.
i get him big pinkies there not much smaller than fuzzies.
hes not the most active of snakes either.
dont see him out very often.

Maybe try him on a fuzie next time.
See if you can get one that's not a great deal bigger than his pinks and see how he takes it.
Some snakes aren't active, until you do something that's gotta be interesting. Mine are incredibly curous about the hair-dryer.
Oh, and Hi and welcome to the forum. |

| Hi, I've a corn just like yours, he's about an Oct 08 hatch. He looks very similar in size, and like yours he's a slow to grow. Much slower than my other corn was, he's also a bit on the shy side. He is on fuzzies however, he has one a week and has no trouble. Infact i think i was more worried about him taking it than he was. |

heya and welcome 
all my yearlings varied hugely in size and weight but they were all taking small mice by a year old. i think yours could definitely take a fuzzy, like Kehhlyr said the size of the food item is determined by the girth of the snake not the size of it's head. |

| Mines about a year old, takes 2 fluffs but currently digesting 3 due to a feeding gap. |
