this is my new corn bought him like 3 weeks ago.
Hes about 3ft long maybe a little more and around 200g
i was told to feed him 2 mice twice a week and he seems to be doing fine.
he is very active out of the viv and enjoys a bowl of warm water every once in a while. I was also told to spray him twice daily as well. The lady that told me this was very proud to show me her corns and they looked very healthy and had amazing skin softest snakes i have ever felt. Anyway these are some pics i took from my mac today. I am very open to suggestions

You really don't need to spray him every day unless your house is very dry, the only time I spray mine is when they're shedding to get the humidity up.

Welcome to the forum :)
 
Nice corn!

Just a question on the mice - is that 1 mouse or 2 per feed? (ie 2 or 4 a week). At that size I'd be inclined to feed him one approriately sized mouse (no more than 1.5 times widest part of his body) once a week.
 
2 per feed and these pic's were 48hrs after his last feast so he seemed to handle them pretty good. Should i try 2 once a week, 1 twice a week, or 2 twice a week?
 
Well a snake that size shouldn't be on twice a week feedings anymore.
Unless maybe you're meaning to say twice a month?
For a male that size if you're gonna feed him 2 mice a feeding it should be at least 10-14 day intervals, you don't want him getting fat.
 
You should feed ONE mouse ONCE a week, at most. Personally, if you're sure he's a he, I would feed him one mouse every 12 days or so.

Very nice boy.
 
thanks i like him a lot, he has been really active lately and I am hesitant to take him out because he will not calm down im afraid that hes gonna get wrapped around something and I will have to spend an hour trying to get him off any suggestions? i was thinking about letting him just wander around for a couple of hrs in my apt so he does not feel the need to explore so much maybe he will calm down and just chill around my neck.
 
Congrats on the new snake. Only feed him like one appropriate sized mouse a week..I'm sure he'll do fine :0)
