I have a cornsnake that is about 3 feet long and a year and 5 months old. Anyone know about how big he or she will get. Also, is 3 large fuzzies a week too much to feed him? He/she is about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick at his widest part.
Answers:
i think 3 fuzzies is a bit much. i think you should move up to hoppers (1 ) or Weanlings (if weanlings only 1) 3 fuzzies are alot for corn snakes to eat. the older they get the more days you can space out for feeding. (a week up to-10 days) per each feding. make sure you leave your corn snake alone for 48 hours after any meal of any size. corn snakes can get up too 5 even 6 feet long. very rare in cases feeding your corn to much food at a time can hurt there insides. if you have anything more to ask yim or mail me at darkmorning1@yahoo.com you said he/she if you want to know how to sex your corn snake i can tell you how.
3'-4' is likely as big as your cornsnake will get.
As for feeding it, if it's taking the three fuzzies without puking them back up--then you might want to think about feeding it regular sized mice now. Try feeding it one full sized mouse and see if the lump seems too big. It should be fine to feed it two regular sized mice a week to 10 days.
Are you sure that it's 1/2 3/4 inch thick at its widest part? That's pretty small for a 3' corn.
They can get up to 5 to 6 feet I have seen a male 6 feet.
For a 3 foot long corn you could probably give it the next size up from the fuzzies, here are 2 good sites that can help you,

A corn snake will get as big as your enclosure will allow them. I would only feed him once a week or even up to once every 2 weeks now that he is over a year old. They can even go with eating once a month but I wouldn't recommend that. Keep in mind that if your snake is going to be shedding or is shedding don't try and feed him. My female was approx. 5' long and my male is around the same length.
