So my corn is now 17.75g and he is still being fed a single 1day old pinky every 4 days, however the last 2 feeding have not put a dent in my growing boys belly, and I know it's time to bump it up. Well there is a bump right after he eats, just a slight bit bigger around than he is at his widest section, but 24 hours later the bump is 90-100% gone and he is out wondering around about 30-36 hours after being fed. Here is the info I have, I hope it's clear enough.
Snake weight: 17.75g
AVERAGE 1-day-old pinky weight: 2g
AVERAGE MLP (medium-large pinky) weight: 4g
I ordered the two pinky sizes of 1-day-old and MLP, the thing is the 1days are a bit too small, and the MLP are a bit too big, there are a few in the MLP bags that are a bit smaller than the others, weighing around 3g, and look to be about 1.5-2x wider than the widest part of my snakes body, I think even the smallest of the MLP may be a bit too big still, so what should I do? A few friends have suggested feeding 2 of the 1 day olds until he can handle the MLPs, I was going to follow the Munson plan (I think that's the name of it) but it seems a bit aggressive and I don't know weather to trust it. This is my first ever snake or reptile of any kind, and I just want to be sure I'm doing this correctly.
Also if the solution is to start feeding 2 of the 1day olds, then should I wait an extra day between feeding, 5? Or keep it at every 4 days? Thanks for any help in advance, and feel free to ask for any more info. I could possibly get some pics tomorrow of the sizes of the pinks, if that's necessary.
