i got a new snake today! well yesterday......but anywhoo....he is a albino red corn snake.and i got him for 15 dollars and he is really active.and hes about 7-9 inches long,and the pet store owner said he was on pinkies....it seems a little small for pinkies.what do ya'll think? and when should i try and feed him? oh also he has already taken a couple of drinks.

he'll swallow pinks just fine

[dragonkid]

okay! thanks....any rule of thumb on how big the pinkie (well in this case small) should be? i know for a leopard gecko its as big as the head......something like that?

As a rule of thumb, the food item should be about the same as the girth of the snake at it's widest point.

Hope this helps. :D
