also id like to point out that corn snakes aren't supposed to be chunky fellas, however the backbone should not be visible.

in my opinion - offer your snake another mouse - if he takes it them obviously he may require more food either on a regular basis or every other week, as my snake has escaped before and survived 4 months without a meal it wont hurt it.

What i recommend you do with a snake that is still growing is keep to one size food for about 4-5 weeks, then add the same size mouse(so you feeding it double). after 4-5 weeks increase the size of the food only feeding it one prey item, then again offer 2 of that size. This makes sure that the food item is not too big for the snake to swallow, whilst giving it a chose as to whether it wants to eat more, as my snake does turn down rats if its had its fill.

Hiya, thanks and all it's all sorted now. Jeff is on a medium rat every few weeks as he's fully grown now. he's doig well. elliot is on pinkies every 7-9 days. both doing well.
