Malnourished corn?

[mylostnick]

Hi,

I think I underfed my corn snake.
He was on pinkies (5-7 days) up to a year, then bigger pinkies (2-4g, sometimes double, sometimes 1-2g + 2-4g) up to 2,5 years. Then I switched to mice, 5-6 or 7-10g, then 10+g, then 11-15g, but it was one mouse per 9-10 days, sometimes per 7 days, sometimes per 14 days.
Then I decided to you up to 16+ gram.

I tried to feed him less because my other corns tend to be on the overweight side. But I think I went too far to the other side.

Pics:

1,5 year old:

2 years weighing around 100 gram:

He is now 4 years, weighing 300 grams:

He is on regular feeding schedule now, 16+ every week, soon to be 20+g every 10 days.

Did I harm my snake? Was he hungry? Is he malnourished? I am wrecked after I realized I could have made so many mistakes.

He's a little smaller than I'd like to see, but 300 grams at 4 years is fine. And he doesn't look thin. I'd be feeding him a 25-30 gram mouse every 10-14 days at his current size.

I have to agree with hynoctopus in this case. In the younger pics he looks a bit thin, but he looks perfectly healthy now. I would also recommend upping the feeder size now. He should be able to handle the larger mouse with no issues so unless you have more of the smaller mice on hand you might as well bump him up.
