Feeding Question

Ok here is my question. I am not sure I am feeding my adult corn enough. I give him an adult mouse and he swallows it and searches for more. His diamater is about the size of a roll of US Quarters. You can not even see or feel a bulg in his belly. Should I be feeding him rats and if so what size?

For that size you could switch your little snakey to rat pups. Although the searching afterwards isnt abnormal in many cases since many snakes will stay in "feeding mode" for 20 minutes after they eat.

My snake always searches around after a meal, big or small. Maybe that's because I clean his tank while he is in his feeding container.
