Size of mouse for a small cornsnake?

[youngster]

I'm getting a small corn. I would judge to be about 12" in length. I want to just figure everything out before hand. So my question: how big should the mice be for a foot long corn?

Slightly or right at the widest part of your snakes body, the mouse shouldnt be but a tiny bit thicker if not the same size.

well if hes 12" hes not very big, ive never owned a corn snake but im guessing at that size a fuzzy would be good. But im sure a Corn Snake owner will see this and give you a more definite answer. Why do you need to know before you even buy the snake? are you bulk ordering or something?

If he is about 12" you would want to give him a small pinkie..IMO

Small pinky for sure.. Theyre really slender when young.

Go with the pinky kid, ive never even owned a colubrid. Pythons take bigger prey of course.
