Is this correct?

Hi just bought my snake on 7th July, it is a Caramel Corn and is a year old. The lady in the pet shop says he is fed 2x fuzzies every 4 days. Does this sound ok? Can they eat one after the other? in the pet shop he was in a small plastic container, and since i put him in his viv he is always stretched out, is he doing this because he can? Also warm side of viv is 25C is this about right? Sorry for all the Q's

Cheers

Sounds like he's ready to go to one small mouse every 7 days. Best to stick to the food he knows while he's settling in though. Maybe try in a month's time.

Can they eat one after the other?

Yes. If you stick with 2 fuzzies while he's settling in, then just offer them both at the same time. He'll eat them one after the other. As he's just arrived, don't feed him for a week, while he settles in. The delay won't harm him.

in the pet shop he was in a small plastic container, and since i put him in his viv he is always stretched out, is he doing this because he can?

Yep, probably. You need to make sure he has hides on the cool and warm sides, so that he can get out of sight if he wants to. He's probably just exploring his new home.

Also warm side of viv is 25C is this about right?

To translate that to what I understand, that's 77 degrees, which is too low. The warm side needs to be mid-to-high 80s, that's about 30 degrees. They need the warm temp to digest, so keeping it too low for any length of time can cause health problems.
