how often should i feed a baby corn?

[BrandonG12]

I have not gotten a corn snake yet but, i was wondering how often should i feed a baby corn snake? I have read about some people feeding them twice a week(i thought that was speed feeding.), some once a week, so basically my question is this: how often should i feed a baby corn snake?

I feed mine every 7 days, seems to be doing good so far

Do a search for the Munson plan. I fed my girl every 5 days till she was on small adults.

I feed one pink every 5 days. I decrease feeding frequency each time the food size increases. By the time mine reach adult mice, they're fed one every 14 days. Some are now on one every 21 days as they get fat on that regime, so you can tailor your feeding to suit the individual snake as you go along.

The aim is to have them at roughly adult size by three years of age. Some hit this earlier and some later, but the rate of growth is influenced by the rate of feeding. So-called "power-feeding" to get Corns grow fast, is generally avoided due to attendant longer-term health risks.
