Corn snake advice?

Shivvy123 Xper 6

Hey all. So I've got a corn snake (new to snakes) he's approximately 33 inches now and he's roughly 10 months old. He's now on adult mice and he's a hungry one. He feeds every 5-7 days depending on how hungry he is... Anyway, he has never missed a meal since I've had him and he will mostly get quite hungry after the 5 day mark. Just curious, if he's on adult mice now, what do I feed him when he's fully grown at two years old? I know there are rats available but I can't imagine he could manage the girth of a rat but I also don't think an adult mouse is going to satisfy his appetite...

You can simply give 2 mice.
Also Snakes are evolved to eat their meals whole and in one go.
You can try rats, maybe start with small rats if you aren't sure.

  Thanks for the help. I did think two mice would work but as you probably know it's better for them to have one whole large rodent rather than two slimmer rodents one after the other. Something about how they sit in the stomach. But yea, he won't starve! I'm one of them type of pet owners that worries ahead 😂

  I am giving 2 mice every once in while for the last 5 years, basically everytime when she hasn't eaten for longer period of time eg. when shedding the skin. But i also never heard of anyone telling me that two mice may don't sit right, which could be a mistake on my part not doing enough research before. But i guess you can go bigger with the rats, it might take while longer to swallow but if you take small rats, something in between, it will be fine i guess, i mean they survive in the wild as well. If you really want to make sure ask a professional, a vet or breeder or something like this.

  Well since I asked in the "other" section then I don't see what the problem is asking about my pet since there isn't a section on pets and animals.
