Hi guys, firstly this website is awesome, everyone on it is helpful and i've find out so much about CornSnakes since finding this website only a week ago.
Just a quick question about feeding. I have an Amel and shes is roughly 2 and a half years old. Shes about 42''-45'' and is fairly big girth ways. She has never caused me any worries, she eats regular, never leaves her food. Shes active and has no problems with digestion or shedding. I feed her two adult mice per week - 10 days. I only buy them as adult mice so i don't know if they are small/large/jumbo. They are probably about 3'' on average, some smaller, some alittle bigger. They are never any wider than my Amels thickest section. When i first got her 2 years ago i fed her 1 fuzzie, then 2 fuzzies, then 1 adult and now two adults. I didn't really follow any advice or any strict pattern , basically i just upped her food when i thought she looked ready and was comfortable when digesting. I read that alot of people feed 1 adult mouse every 10 days. Am i over feeding? I read that obesity can be a problem with Corns. She doesn't look obese and i let her out to exercise everday, for about half hour. As i say, i've never had any problems with her, shes been a star to keep, especially as she is my first and only snake.
Any opinions or suggestions on this matter would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers Guys.
