corn snake question?

Question

at which age did your corn snake start eating fuzzy

Answer 1

My hatchling corns are now on fuzzies at 5 months of age. Depends upon how often the snake was fed, it's size, genetics etc. On average though a snake around 6 months or so will be on fuzzies-large ones.

Answer 2

I follow what is called the "Munson" plan--found at the corn snake forum site. The size of prey has to do with the size of the snake, not the age.
The Munson Plan (Sample Feeding Chart)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 4-5 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 4-5 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 5-6 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (24-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+)
-Jumbo Adults (40-50g) every 7-x days (Snake = 400g+)

Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Females are fed every 6-8 days; males are fed every 7-14 days.

This is by no means scientific, and not all corns will cooperate 100% with the schedule. The weight ranges I gave for the prey and snakes are approximate. I'm very consistent in my feedings. Some people feed every Saturday, for example. If they get a refusal, the snake has to wait for the next Saturday to get another shot. I don't do this. If a snake refuses today, he'll get another shot in two days.

Answer 3

Depending on how many pinkies you are giving the snake now. The snake should be eating 1/4 plus the girth of the midsection of the snake. 4-5 months. Depends on the snakes size.

Answer 4

It doesn't go by age but rather size I have a 3 foot snake that is eating fuzzies that are small. Your fuzzies head shouldnot be bigger than your snakes head.
