Hi.
Just got my first Corn today.
I was told to feed it 2 Pinkies every seven days.
My question is , how long do i wait, after giving him the first pinkie, before giving him the second one ????
Thanks.

Hi Mark - you will see your corn use it's neck to push the pinkie down to roughly 1/3 to 1/2 half of the way down by making "s" shapes. Once your corn has stopped making those movements it is time for pinkie number 2. Congratulations on your first corn, let us know how it goes next week

As Foxtrotsierra has said. 1/3 down the body you can offer the second pinkie :) Hope this helps.

That is what we are here for mark143, I would have gone stark raving bonkers without all the help I had from people on here with my picky eating first corn snake!
