How often to feed baby corn?

First time Corn Owner
I just got my first corn. He is 15 inches and I'm told 5 months old. The pet store only fed him once a week. I plan on feeding him one pinkie every five days. Is that enough? I read on one website that when they are hungry they will start going around the viv like they are looking for something. Today is day 5 (he gets fed tonight) and he's just hiding out like normal.

Do you increase to every four days / three days until they show signs that they are not interested in eating and then back off? Do I give him two pinkies instead of one?

Thanks in advance...

also... what do all the numbers in your footers mean 0.0.1 or 1.0 etc...??
 
Feed him one pinky every five days. I wouldn't increase it to 4 days.

Tonight when you feed him after he has chowed down his pinky see how big of a lump he has. If its very noticeable stay at 1 pink. If you have barely a bulge move up to the appropriate sized food item.

Every corns activity level is different, some like to cruise, some like to just hang out. I would stick to an every 5 day schedule until you move him up in food items.

1.0 is male, 0.1 is female 0.0.1 is if you dont know or if you're not sure about the sex. So if someone has 1.2 "Snow" in their sig, that means they have 1 male and 2 female snows.
I'm pretty sure this is correct...so if i am..please correct me :grin01:

the lump is barely noticeable... but he is a baby and his neck is pretty skinny - can't image feeding him something larger... I think *I* just have to get used to how much their mouths can stretch {grin}
