Got a few questions

Was'nt me officer
Hello i currently have 2 corns. one of them is 4 years old and is 5.5 feet long and the other is a 4 or 5 month old and is about 1.5 feet long.

Now the question i need to know is i currently feed them both ever 7 days. the big one 2 adult mice and the small one 3 baby mice ... i am wondering if that is a fine amount to feed them as they are both totally happy and always eat them.

With the small snake i have recently noticed it has on the very end of its tail a small black area about 1mm long (looks like it is dead). i think this was because its last shed went quite bad and took me along time to remove the skin from end of it tail. Is this anything to worry about or will it just drop off or do you think i should get it treated by a vet ?

Thanks
 
If you’re feeding your small snake 3 baby mice (which I am assuming are pinkies) you might be better off bumping him/her up to say a small fuzzy or fuzzy. The key is to keep the prey item to no more than 1.5 times the widest part of your snake.

As far as the tail problem is concerned, it certainly does sound like a residual shed. There really isn’t much that can be done at this point however, if you’re really concerned you might consider a trip to your vet. It sounds to me like you might need to raise the humidity of your enclosure when your snake goes into blue.

Here's an idea for you:

That's one big snake there.

My corn is about the same age as yours, maybe a little older and he's only about 4 feet long or so, but he was eating 2 adult mice a week up until about a month ago and I switched him over to small rats. I never had a problem with 2 mice, but the rats were cheaper to feed over the course of a month.
