I used to work at a pet store and we handled snakes and stuff. Usually a snake of that size could go 2-3 weeks on one 250gram mouse. Just keep him/her in a cozy place while digesting the mouse. Never roughly handle a snake thats just eaten. You cant burp snakes that way.

corn snakes that long could eat a large mouse or 2 or a good size rat. The rat will last longer in the snake's digestive track. Rats are meatier and give more sustenance. It can last anywhere from 1.5 weeks to 3 weeks. Corn snakes have a very good appetite and seem to eat about as much as you offer them. I have a snow corn snake and love it. That is what I feed it. They can be overfed and will become obese so that needs to be watched also. Good luck..

Once every two weeks depending on the size of the meal. a rat would certainly last the snake two weeks unless his enlcosure is too warm. This would cause him to digest the food much quicker.

i find mine of the same size has gone up to 3 months with out any ill effect will eat when hungry normally once a week

A medium rat about once every two weeks. Feeding smaller food more frequently is bad for their digestive system.
