Hi. :D

I`m going to order 100 pinkies for my six baby corn snakes.
However, I`m not sure what size will be good for my babies. Will large pinkie(2.50~3.00 grams) good for two months old babies? or do I need to order small pinkies(1.90~2.40 grams)? As you know, I can feed my babies for four months with 100 pinkies..but they`ll grow..so I think they`ll not be satisfied with small pinkies..ah...please give me advice. I know there are many experiecned breeders here, Please~
 
I'd go with the small ones. Pick out the littlest to use first and then you will wind up with nothing but 2.0-2.4 gm ones left at the end, and then you can offer 1 1/2 pinks if that's not a big enough meal but 2 pinks is too much. Too large a food item could lead to regurging, which is really bad. Of course, YMMV.
 
You are really asking a question that we can not answer because we have no idea of the size of the hatchling. However, I would order small pinky because you can always feed two or three pinkies at a time as the snakes grow.
