Small snake feeder

Hello,
I have gotten a new snake about a month ago, she's around 25g and is at least nine months old. To me, that's small... what are everyone else's thoughts? Trying to keep her feedings a little less than conservative, starting her on fuzzies next feeding (she was just on pinkies when I got her despite her size, so I did a couple feedings of double pinkies before moving to fuzzies.) I've been feeding her every 5 (occasionally six) days. I have already asked and seems everyone feels fuzzies are the right size, but my question is how often do I feed her since she's small? Still 5 days apart? When do you start spacing out the feedings? She just shed so at least she's growing some! Thanks

Tiffany

25g is when I switch from double pinks to small fuzzies (3-4 gs). I feed every 7 days on sm fuzzies until they hit 50gs then move up to reg fuzzies (5-6 gs) until 80g when I move to hoppers. I tend to be more conservative than most feeding charts in both size of feeder and length between feedings. I think most do 5-6 days between feeding on fuzzies.

Snakes grow at different rates. I received a 5 month old corn earlier in the year that weighed 9gs because she was only being fed one pink a week and IMO should have been 1 pink every 5 days until 15g and then moved to double pinks. She now weighs over 20gs and is putting on weight nicely.

Does 25g seems small for her age?

As I said snakes grow at different rates. A little on the small side but get on a proper feeding schedule and she'll catch up over time (a couple years or so). As long as she is healthy I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Ok thanks. She's only my second snake, and it's been years since I had a baby, so I tend to forget some the ropes of caring for a baby. She generally looks small to me, but I'm used to looking at an adult... I'm probably worrying about nothing. Thanks!
