I would not recommend waxworms unless your snake is underweight. Feed earthworms instead, or guppies from a shallow dish of water, and how much you feed depends on the size of the snake and the size of the prey. Assuming a snake is a foot long, and the guppies are normal, adult guppy size, 8 a week would be fine. Worms are a little different since they are usually bigger, so feed less of them per week, probably only 4.

Not many.....wax worms are extremely high in fat and should only be given sparingly to any animal view are fed to and it might not even eat them. Usually earth worms or night crawlers are what work for me.
