My snake is probably ready to move to fuzzies, but I have pinkies left. He is taking 4 pinkies per feeding about every 5 to 8 days. Is this ok or should I get fuzzies now? Do not have a scale to weigh him.
 
How many pinkies do you have left? Maybe just get another snakeling to feed the extra pinkies to :laugh: You'll probably notice better growth for your snake once you get it on something bigger than a pinky.
 
Since you're not regularly feeding your corn a whole bunch of pinks it should be okay... I know at the zoo they feed their snakes multiples of smaller rodents than appropriate sized ones and for the most part all the snakes are healthy. But I like ZoologyGirl's suggestion ;D
 
Wow 4 pinkies in 1 feeding? Most switch over to fuzzies when after being on 2 pinkies.
If it are just a few pinkies left i would just continue until there aren't any left. If there are only 2 or 3 left i would just throw them away. Otherwise is sounds like you need another snake xD
 
Get your snake established on fuzzies and let it grow a bit. You can then get rid of your extra pinks by slipping one at a time in with each fuzzy.

If we took a vote however, I would also be on team "Get Another Hatchling" :)
