"Adult" Corn Weight

Fair enough

Those tubs in a rack should work perfectly. As long as they can't push the lids up, you'll be in business!

I'll be finding out in a few, got the soldering iron warming up now...

Looks like they will work just right. Had to put a piece of plywood under the tubs, since the shelf pegs only have spacing every inch, it was hard to get them just the right height.

Hmm I must have messed up the picture link, try this again.

Here is a shot of the ghost after just eating 2 hoppers:



Looks like she is ready for adult mice?

Yup. Those didn't make much of a dent in her...or a bulge...

Well, I have a bunch of hoppers in the freezer already and another bag on the way, so me thinks she'll be getting three for a bit. The sunglow too, I reckon.

Like the others have said, just follow the Munson plan and both of your snakes (the female especially) will gain weight rapidly.

I purchased two 3 year old corns last year (miami & amel) that were being co-habbed in a 33 gallon cage with SAND as substrate. The owner, a university student, had kept them together since hatchlings and fed them their mice just on the sand. When I asked him what their feeding schedule was, he said that he fed them about one hopper every 2-3 weeks. No wonder their were only 2.5 feet!!! What was the excuse for the feeding schedule? "Well, with university, I'm kept pretty busy". Oh well, I snatched up the two corns for $25 each and started them on the Munson plan. Here's how well the snakes are doing now (keep in mind that these pics were taken back in January, so they've both gained about another 50g since then):

Akeelah at 445g (she's very husky!)...


Darwin at 423g...


Well, that's my Munson Plan "success story"!

Wow! So far so good with my guys, they are eating like champs. I never thought they'd be able to eat as much as they do!
