i have had my corn for about 18 months. he/she is now about 4 ft. long. i currently feed two adult mice every week and a half to two weeks. is this too much or too little? would i be able to feed one small rat this often or would a meal that large be slightly too much? thanks for the help!

You been here longer than I but...... I read that feed size should be no more than 1 1/2 of it widest point. I think feeding one food item is better than two, for long term. But thats just me. Do you know the age??

Good luck :cheers:
 
from my experience you should feed 100%-150% of the widest part of the snake, If the rat is about 150% then i would give to smaller mice that equal half the mass.
 
I feed my 4 ft. amel on one small adult rat every two weeks. He has no problem eating it.
