How often to feed

[mark stuettgen]

I have a 6 moth old candycain corn snake about 13 in.long.it is eating pinky mice.The guy we got him from was feeding once a week.I think that is a lot.What do you think?

No, once a week is perfect. Most people feed their young corns every 3-5 days. Sounds like a healthy corn to me

But be sure to get one of these more experienced snake owners' advice first. Enjoy

Using the Munson Plan works awesome. I use this on my snakes at home and at work.

It's usually every 4-7 days. Although if I remember correctly, 4 has recently been deemed potentially unhealthy. 5 is normally the standard for hatchlings, and 7-14 for subadults and adults.
Would you be able to show me where you read 3 is acceptable?

I read it somewhere a while ago, dont remember where. But never even thought of doing that, nor advising others to follow that habit. I follow the munson plan
