question bout feeding

okay, I feed my corn snake 1 pinky a week. He seems to be fine. But i read about people feeding their baby corns a few pinkies? something like that every few days?.Idk im confused lol I dont know if im doing the right thing.. Here is a pic of him the day after he was fed. Im unsure of how old he is also.Ive had him for bout 3-4weeks so im gussing 2 months or so.

Seems like you are doing things alright. The appearance of the large lump after feedings is exactly want you want to see. When the lump becomes less apparent (after subsequent feedings), you can then [safely] move up to two pinkies, or a small fuzzy. Hope this helps.

Yep, I can see the lump. And you're doing right!
You can feed your guy every five days, or up to every seven day. I fed my every seven days just because it's easy for me to remmember. And I don't plan on breeding. Also a general rule is only feed your snake something (pinky, hopper etc) thats 1 1/2 of snake widest point. When you are referring to food size you can't go by the snake age. you go by the girth of it.

Good luck with your snake
