How often should I feed my one year old cornsnake?

I feed him a pinkie every week but it seams like he is hungry every 4-5 day after I feed him should I feed him more?

    You should ideally only feed one rodent every 7 days to a corn snake.

    A "normal" meal for a snake should take about 10 minutes to ingest and swallow.

    If the snake eats quicker than this then the mouse is too small.

    Next feed offer the next size up.

    You should probably be feeding a one year old Corn Snake one Fuzzy mouse every 7 days. :) It may help if you post a photo so that we can see his size.

    Best Wishes!
