How difficult are corn snakes to care for?

Hi Patmart. I wouldn't worry if your snake only gained 1 gram, but if you have been feeding the same size prey for a while you might look into a little larger mouse.

I admit I'm a little spoiled. I have three snakes and about 125 freezer mice in three main sizes to choose from so I can always find the size I want.

P.S. When Cleo was 70 grams she was getting 7 to 8 gram hoppers. Of course each snake is different.

Thank you Mollysmom I have just weighed a mouse it's only 4g so I will get some bigger ones today
Thank you very much for your help

Macaws, BTW, are one of the worst pets to own.

IMO, only VERY qualified, dedicated people should own parrots -- especially large species.

Sorry I missed this a while back. 8 months is a juvenile. Basically you have hatchlings for the first few weeks, then babies until 3 to 6 months, then juveniles until adulthood which is about 3 years. This is all very informal and unofficial. Also you can call a juvenile of one to two years a yearling.

Thank you

1000000% agree, they are not for the average pet owner. Not even for the mid-level pet owner. Only for the psychos among us!
