My stunning Snake-still not thought of a name lol-He's a little over a year







These pics don't do it justice!!!!i'm still not sure what sex it is but it has a really thin tail and i;ve heard this can be used as an indicator????


This is my brothers Beautifull corn called red shadow(don't ask lol)I'm taking care of him at the mo,My bro was feeding him 3 fuzzies a week!Which i've cut down to 2 fuzzies every other week what you guys think????
Any comments/advice would be appreciated cheers

2 fuzzies every other week?

he was better off with the 3 fuzzies. that snake actually looks like it should be eating hoppers, weanlings, or small adult mice.

I agree that any snake eatting 2 even 3 fuzzies "every other week" is being underfed.
Without having another object to compare to in the picture though I can't tell how big the snake should be. But prey should be leaving a lump longer than 24 hrs, if it's gone within 24hrs the prey size is too small.
1.5x the width of the snake is a good judge.

Cheers guys for that advice,just to clarify he;s a year in novemeber and roughly about 2 1/2 ft long,Should i be feeding him one small adult mouse every week or every other week????????
Herp__Kid
