When you said wild corn, you mean in the wild or a captive one?
In the wild they will have to get every oportunite. My answer will be yes, depending on the size of the last meal.
But if you are talking about have a wild in captive I would say about every 4 / 7 days. Is important that you give at least 3 or 4 days to digest the meal.

I disagree.....
I really doubt that it would eat every day.
To your question, if a corn is already stuffed like a sausage, they are less likely to continue feeding. It is often observed that they will not eat, even when a meal is offered, for 2-3 day following a meal.
Also, have you ever overfed a snake? If you offer a meal that is too big, the food item actually starts to decompose before it is digested and is regurged.
Of course what they choose to eat is another topic altogether. Just ask elrojo

It depends on the snake
I know that each corn snake is different, and some corn snakes will eat a full meal every 2 days with no regurgitation (this is aggressive power feeding, and I don't recommend it), and other snakes will refuse to eat any sooner than 7 days between meals. So if you took a good eating young adult and fed it a ridiculously small meal, like a pinky or a fuzzy,it would eat every day with no problems. In my experience, you only run into regurgitation problems when you feed normal size meals too often, or if there is something else happening (like shedding, sickness, or you have a gravid, meaning pregnant, female).
This is all a hypothetical discussion, because there would be no purpose in doing this type of daily feeding.

I don't think it would, but if he did he might eat to much and get fat, or he might have to regurge it.
