On the corn snake forum there is a chart showing food size and amount, how often to feed in relation to the weight of the snake.
Is there something similar on this forum?
thanks in advance

Yes.

Royal weighing 0-400g - feed every 5 days
400-800g - every 7 days
800-1200g - every 10 days
1200g+ - every 14 days

Feed 10/15% of snake's weight.

Hope this helps

Cheers
So do I have to physically weigh the food or is there a chart for that somewhere too?
Don't want to buy a load of mice to find that they the wrong size lol!

A&N do a nice weight guide but all shops and suppliers differ in what they qualify as certain rats (pups / weaners etc.)
