| he seems a rather large snake to still be on pinkies, if he can take the next size i would move him up, largest size is 1.5 x the snakes girth at the widest |

| he should be ok with a fuzzy at that size. Try him on one and see how he gets on, pay attention to the size of the 'bump' in the stomach that it leaves and the time it takes him to swallow. If it doesn't look too huge, and it goes within a minute or two of starting to eat he will be good to stay at that size. |

| Hi. My snake was on fuzzies at the same age as yours and was the same length so as above, give it a try, I'm sure he will be fine. |

definitely a royal! great temperament and manageably small while still looking big if you know what i mean...love my royal. i assume your asking what python as a pet, not which one to feed to your cornsnake lol! i dont think he'd manage that! pinkies>fuzzies>pythons isnt the accepted feeding progression lol! |
