Feeding schedule(noob here)

[Kalob_Foret]

Okay so this isn't really a problem but a question, So for my feeding schedule should i feed my baby corn snake the same two days every week or feed it every so many days?

Hi.

Use this feeding schedule as a guide.

You will soon get used to how your snake eats.. sometimes later than the schedule says or earlier.. each snake is different.

Oh, buy a little weight scale... ones you use for food.. that weighs in grams. I found mine over by the kitchen supplies and utensils in Walmart..

You might have to buy the little bowl to put him in to put on the scales or you might can find one that has that bowl included.. like I did.

Weigh your little fellow and feed according to his weight following the chart.

That is really up to you. I personally use a set day. I feed once a week even on my hatchlings just because it is easy for me to remember when to feed them. If I didn't do it that way they would either be fat from over feeding or severely under weight.

I feed my babies when they're hungry, usually about every 7 to 10 days. If they start to get a little thin, I feed them more. If they don't look hungry, I may wait a few more days. I'm unconventional...ughhhh!

yeah, 7 to 10 ten days...thats the norm it seems...i let the snakes tell me when it's time to eat....my ultramel charcoal will come out and sniff (Tongue flicking) around when she's hungry...otherwise she stays hidden...unless the room is COMPLETELY quiet and still.
