Normal Corn Snake Growth Rate = ?

Hey all.

My Corn has just started feeding after living with me for one week (the trick was leaving the F/T 1 day old pinky on the glass bottom of the vivarium above the UTH overnight) and I'm beginning to look into shipping myself F/T's in bulk. I have enough pinkies to last about another month (at a feeding rate of 1/6 days) and wish to know how long it has taken your snakes to go up a size in food or to be fed multiples at a time.

At the moment I don't have anyone to share a bag with and worry that Armand/Amy will outgrow bulk food I buy for her since she's only ~4 months old and I expect her to grow quickly if I do my job right. Any ideas on how to plan a bulk bag of food and preferred providers would be appreciated. Right now I'm mostly looking at Rodentpro (I like their layout) and Big Cheese Rodent Factory (I like their bag sizes). Thanks in advance!

There isn't really a growth rate as all Corns grow at their own rate. For example I've got a 9 months old male that's about one and a half times the size of his sister. They both hatched on the same day and are fed on the same food schedule.

How many pinks are in one bag? Mine are both 9 months old and both one fuzzies. Moved them up about a month or so ago. You should be okay tho as you'll be feeding double pinks for a while before moving up to peach fuzzies. I am sure they'll get used up. Plus you can always keep a few in case of a regurge or other health issues, etc.
