What should I feed my new Corn?

I have a new Corn I just bought. It is an 03 female. It is 35 1/2 inches and weighs 170 g ( 6 Oz).
I have a few questions:
Is this not small for an 03?
Will it grow much larger? I am worried I may never get it to breeding size (300 grams)
In light of the above, what size mouse and how often should I feed?

Please dont double post the same exact question. :) Here is my response to your other thread:
That does sound small for an 03. I would feed her an adult mouse every week to see if she gains any weight. If she does, keep her on that schedule until shes a good size and not overweight. There are some good threads on what obese snakes look like if you do a search.
After she gets to a good weight, an adult mouse every 2 weeks is good.
Hope this helps :)

No double posting --> Noted!
Thanks for your response.
The previous owner was feeding it hoppers and so have I. Are you sure a snake this size can handle an adult mouse?

I left another response on your other thread that small adult mice are probably a good size. I have a 160g and 190g corn that are both eating small adult mice. The bigger of the two is ready for adult mice, which I will be bumping him up to this next feed.
