That looks like a pretty big meal. Hopefully he doesn't regurge, but just make sure to totally leave him alone with proper heat for at least 3 days.

Also if he does regurgitate it what should I do? And I'm just so worried now because I'm still new at the feeding but I had my pet store give me the pinkie to feed to him and I'm learning that the pet store doesn't know best but more than me haha so I just kinda went with what they said! I'm just so worried now!

If he does, search the word "regurge" and you will find plenty of info on it.

Good luck!

On my laptop, I can tilt the screen so I can see the snake. That's what I saw at first too!

Haha sorry about that i just didn't want to flash a light in his eyes with my camera but I'm just wondering if I could have been feeding him to small of a meal because he always eats on Friday then digests all the way till probably Monday or so and then is hungry by Wednesday again and so far he hasn't regurgitated and seems to be acting normal also he is around 3 months and still looks pretty small is that ok or is his size normal for his age? And I know I need to get a scale for a more exact answer but I was just wondering in the mean time if you guys think I haven't been feeding him enough based on his behavior! Thanks!

Corn snakes are opportunistic feeders in the wild, so normally after digesting the previous meal, he would be out hunting for the next meal. But of course in the wild, he wouldn't always find food right away, but if you fed him based on his behavior, he would be eating very frequently. I think a once per week schedule is fine, but you could always try feeding him every five days if you're concerned. If you choose to try every five days, make sure not to feed him large meals.
