Cornsnake feeding question.

So my boy is doing amazing! He is so friendly. Loves being handled and is an awesome eater. So he is my first snake, so I've looked up the munson feeding plan, may of spelt it wrong. So he is about 30 grams now. Should I keep him at small fuzzies or go to regular. As this is my first snake , a regular fuzzie to me would seem so big for him, I figured I ask you snake experts on here! What you guys do. Even small fuzzies seem big to me for him but that's me, his weight says differently lol

The Munson plan is great, but a bit on the aggressive side. I like to follow it loosely, but extend the days between feeds and wait until the snake is further into the weight range before moving up. Since your guy is 30 grams, I would keep him on a small fuzzy about every 7 days and then move him up to large fuzzies when he's around 35-40 grams.

Yup, that size works fine for him.

You're doing just the right things. Keep up the good work. I also generally do as @hypnoctopus says and wait to move my babies up until they're a bit deeper into the suggested weight range on the Munson plan. It's also fine to keep using smaller sized food items if you have extras in the freezer when your baby's ready for more.
