Greetings..
I have 3 snakes..
A bloodred which is 2yr older than the other 2
A albino stripe and a blizzard.. 3 or 4 years old
All male.. and all adults..

Blizzard is 680gr
Albino is 635gr
While the bloodred is only 500gr

All three never been bred before..
have tried deworming the bloodred few months ago once.. didnt really do much
All three sheds beautifully.. yet while the others ate 2 or 3 mouses.. the bloodred would only ate 1 or 2 at most..

Well this is the picture.. any advice, question or anything would be much appreciated..

What size mice are you feeding? At that weight they should really only be eating 1 large mouse at a time. I feed my female snow (650g) 1 large mouse every 2 weeks.

Nothing is wrong with your snake. Some snakes are just smaller than others. 500g sounds just fine for an adult corn snake.

I totally agree, one mouse every two weeks is recommended. In the wild they are opportunistic feeders and they will eat whatever is in front of them even if full because they don't know when their next meal is coming.

Anything over 300g is full grown, yours look healthy, and if they do refuse to eat they may be in blue or, it being spring, the mating season puts their hunger on hold. Don't worry, none of them are going to starve anytime soon!
 
great looking animals. I'd suggest sticking with 1 mouse every two weeks unless your animals needs to put on weight. Based on the pictures, yours do not.
