Okay, so when i purchased my corn it was apparently no more than two months old accordoing to the shop owner, so by rough calculations my corn is round about four months old. Its growing like wild fire and it seems to be healthy which im confortable about. What i would like to know is should i keep feeding it two pinkys a week? Or should i move up to fluffys? At what age normally would you move up to fluffys? Or is it just dependent on the size of your snake?

if a fuzzy isn't more than 1.5 times the snake's width at its widest point then go for it

Well the pinkys arent huge bumps toward the end of teh snake but you can tell where in the body they are, yknow? Ill buy some and measure one up against Panora, im sure ill be able to tell if its took big.
