feeding corn snakes

Baby corns should be fed a pinkie about every 4 to 5 days. Choose a pinkie that is the same thickness as your snake's body. As the snake grows you can increase the mouse size, always using that rule of thumb. The interval between feedings will also get longer. An adult corn can be fed every 7 to 10 days.
Don't be tempted to over feed your baby, you are not doing it any favours. Unnaturally rapid growth from over-feeding will endanger its health and likely shorten its lifespan.

I would say you only need to be feeding them a pinkie a week now. Feed them once a week and keep increasing the mouse size as they grow. When they're mature they only need to eat every couple of weeks or so.

You should also only give him "frozen" mice. Make sure you thaw the mouse in hot water for 20min. A mouse or rat can hurt or kill your snake when he has to eat larger rodents. Plus, it's mean to kill a rodent.
