Need more Corns
My female corn Cleo is 49g and is currently feeding on fuzzies. The fuzzies are 6g in weight and she usually gets fed every 5 days. Is this ok or should i feed her every 6/7 days?
 
Every 5 days is fine but every 7 days wouldn't hurt either. I feel that a 7 day feeding day is easier to remember and therefore less likely to be missed. Snakes in the wild don't eat on a calendar schedule. It sounds like you have been reading the Munson Diet. I think even Roy Munson will tell you that it is a guideline that can be adjusted to suit your life a little as well.
 
I was just going on how long it took her to digest, when she had a poop, her weight, how big the fuzzy was(pretty small this time) and after 3 days she is very active searching the viv high, low, so thats when i started feeding her every 5 days, i looked at the munson plan before i made this thread and thought i would ask to see if it was ok as it said 6-7 days on their. But as its only a guide i guess every snake isn't the same.

What he said^^^^
 
It’s not an exact science. Don’t make it difficult on yourself. I try to feed my snakes every Saturday. Sometimes it Friday and sometimes it Sunday. I haven’t heard any complaints.

What he said. Only thing I've noticed is that if I'm a day late the enthusiasm is even higher than usual, and 2 of my 3 are already enthusiastic eaters. :)
 
Fed her around and hour ago. Held the the mouse with some tongs, she came straight over, struck, coiled around it and ate it straight away. Just how she has always fed
