- Heres what you need to know about feeding a pet corn snake: ... **do not switch to this feeding schedule without a diagnosis from an experienced reptile veterinarian Offer a prey item that is between 1-1.5x the width of your snakes body at its widest point (dont worry about head size corn snakes may not be pythons, but theyre still very flexible).

- I feed corns weekly with weaner rats or extra large mice. Weight wise, I'd say between 30 - 40 grams and prefer closer to 40g. ... If your snake at its age has only been fed 3 fuzzies every 3 weeks, be wary of suddenly leaping to large mice.
As soon as the pinkies no longer leave noticeable bumps you should move up to feeding a fuzzy every 710 days (pinkies dont have as much nutrition as other mice so its good to move up as soon as your snake is ready).
