    Hey..
    As u all know...my corn blazer is doing good at more than 3 months now.

    I was wondering when i should switch the prey size. It was eatting pinky.

    The small pinky are easy to swallow and the large pinky are okay but seem a little easy for him.

    He weights at 35g and 1F 8 inches.

    I want to switch teh prey to fuzzy from small to large size as he grows.

    Need your input on this quick as i am running out of pinky and want to purchase some from my breeder.

    fuzzies would probably be ok. However, as a rule of thumb - its always vbetter to offer more smaller prey items than less larger items. I usually start with one pinkie and then move up to 2 or 3 pinkies before starting on fuzzies. Its easier on the snake to digest a couple small prey items rather than try to handle a larger one.
