What size mouse should I use?

I recently purchased a new cornsnake, and she's my first snake. Ever since I've got her, I've fed her a fuzzy mouse a week, and she's quadrupled in mass since I got her, about 9 months ago. Based on charts I've found online, for a snake of her weight, she should be eating weanlings, but I still think that fuzzies are the right size for her head. She's around 113 grams, or 4 ounces. My question is, should I use a different size mouse, should I feed her more mice per week, or should I just continue with feeding her this way until her jaw gets a little bigger?
Thanks in advance
 
113 grams X 11% = 12.5 gram mouse.

I would be feeding a snake that size Mice that weigh about 12 to 12.5 grams. Depending on where you purchase them, some folks call them by different names, Large Hoppers, Weanlings, Small Adults...etc....

It's easier to forget about the names and just make sure the weight is right.
 
Mice should weigh about 12g I know they look a little bit to big for her head but should be fine
They can open there mouths really wide
Good luck
