Feeding Frequency

My corn snake is big enough to be eating fuzzies. I think feeding is so cool to watch but I want to see it more often. My question is...instead of feeding my corn one fuzzy every 5 days, could I feed my corn one pinkie every 3 days? Would this be okay to do?

I think you should stick to the fuzzies. Somebody more senior please correct me if I am wrong.

You really shouldn't go backwards and start feeding him pinkies again. Pinkies don't have much to them. Fuzzies on the other hand are full of fat and protein, and will really help your little guy grow bigger and stronger.

Yep, I agree too.
But If you want to see it more often...you're just going to have to get more snakes.

You've been given good advice. The novelty of watching him eat will soon wear off anyway, so you might as well pace it.

Yeah, I get to see it 5-15 times per day. Yippee.

How many snakes do you have?

Three..

ALSO..If you feed your snake every 3 days you will never be able to handle him because he will always be trying to digest. I understand wanting to watch him do cool things like eating , but would not reccomendend you cut back to frequent pinky feedings. It is certainly not in the best thoughts for the snake.

Thirty-seven. Two more coming next week, and I have a few yet-to-be-hatched '06s on reserve.
