Hi i'm new to this and need some advice on what i should be feeding my corn snake jake. i was told the other day he should be on fluffys or maybe two pinks.I'm not sure what to do as jake is my first snake and he is only 8 months old. any help and advice really appreciated
is there any possibility you could post a picture of Jake and maybe some more info regarding his weight and length, then we can try and give you more accurate advice:)
0.1 CB10 Snow Cornsnake - Galaxy ~(Currently MIA) 1.0 CB11 Ultramel Anery Consnake -Orion 0.1 CB11 Lavender Cornsnake - Star 0.1 Leopard Gecko-Simo 1.1 Jack Russell-T.J and Harley (Minature) 1.1 Cats-Rascal and Dizzee 1.0 TB Horse-Mickey
rule of thumb is you feed nothing larger than 1.5 x the widest part of the snake, if one pinkie leaves no visible bump feed it another untill it can move up a size ;)
ok gmac yes one pink leaves a visible bump still lupi lou and lozzy he's on pinks still and im working on getting his weight and his length is roughly 16-17 inches. and im uploading some pics of him.
A good guide to the size of food you should use is below. Not sure who the OP was but thanks to them anyway as it is very useful.
Single pinks 6 days Snake = 4-15g Large pinks (2pink) 7 days Snake = 16-25g Fuzz (5-6g) 7 days Snake = 26-40g Small (8-10g) 7 days Snake = 41-80g Small x 2 (8-10g) 7 days Snake = 80-120g Mouse (18-20g) 7-14d days Snake = 120+g
Adult females after bromating are fed every 6-7 days. Adult females are fed every 7 days. Adult males are fed every 10 days.
beautiful little snake. if there is still a visable bump then leave on pinks for a little while longer then try on double pinks, the guide that donnie has given is really useful too!
