approximate weight-to-meal-size chart?

[reurbo]

i don't remember where i found this but i'm SOOO glad i did...
since getting my corn snake i was only feeding him a single pinkie weekly until he got more use to me but i didn't know when i'd need to start feeding 2 pinkies or upgrade to small fuzzies... until i found this approximate chart

late last night around 11pm i noticed he wasn't out cruising his tank like normal even though he'd been fed saturday morning around 2am like i normally do. i opened his habitat, found him under a hid, & used a snake hook to pick him up & immediately noticed you could start to see his spine.
i let him slide back into his tank & thawed another pinkie which he came after within a minute of being in the tank.
i gave him about 20hrs alone & tonight went to weight him to compare to this chart i found to see if i was wrong & was suppose to be feeding him more.

my little one is about 17inches long & 28 grams & i'd only been feeding him a single pinkie the 3 meals since i've had him before he started looking a little thin... which i gave him a 4th meal (1 pinkie) when i did notice it.

i didn't know he was up to eating small fuzzies but i'm so glad i do now... i feel so bad for not knowing this sooner though.

so tomorrow i was going to be picking up some fuzzies & was thinking getting another small box of pinkies just in case the some of the fuzzies are too big.

any other suggestions? & is it safe to wait until my usual feeding date (early saturday morning between 12-2am) or would an earlier feed be better because of the smaller size meals for so long?

The Munson Plan (Sample Feeding Chart):
-When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 5-6 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 6-7 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+) See below.

Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Adult females are fed every 7-12 days; adult males are fed every 11-14 days.
This is by no means scientific, and not all corns will cooperate 100% with the schedule. The weight ranges I gave for the prey and snakes are approximate.

Quick question, does your pet store let you open the box to check the fuzzy size or are they sealed? The store where we used to buy fuzzies (we ordered online last time, as we had enough snakes eating them at that point to justify it) actually recommended that we open the box to see what size fuzzies were in there because there was such a size range and they didn't want us buying something we couldn't use.

I don't know how many come in the box but if your store carries it i would get Peach fuzzies or also called Large pinkies if you've been feeding small pinks. A feeding or two of those will help to upgrade to the fuzzies. If your store doesn't carry them you can feed two pinks with small cuts in the side. The cuts will help with digestion. Then when you move up to fuzzies cut slits in the side of them as well.

Remember, the mouse should be no bigger than 1 1/2 times the size of your snake!

I got a chart which shows food sizes in relation to the snake size which could be used along side the other chart someone posted
