You don't need to feed it very much either, which is nice. So are you getting it?
You'll hear the big debate over feeding dead vs live and I've done both. I say it doesn't matter. Snakes will do do what their meant to do; kill, suffocate and eat their prey. You'll hear stories about a snake mis-striking and end up getting beat up by a mouse. I've never ever talked to anyone who knows of it happening to their snake or even someone they know's pet snake. People will say it's cruel to feed a live mouse. I say there are a LOT MORE cruel things in this world than doing what nature's intent is. Do whatever your snake will eat and what you feel comfortable with
You could equate it to feeding live feeder fish to carnivorous fish too. They can get ripped to shreds while their still alive though.

I used to have 3, but sold them some time ago.
Depends on size of prey item.Large prey and small snake-2 days or until bump goes.But in general 24hrs is the rule.just make sure not to handle it for awhile after it eats. Don't remember for how long. it can upset it and cause it to regurgitate it's food

in the wild corn snakes catch their prey by constricting (squeezing the life out of it's prey), corn snakes preys in the wild are small birds,bats, small mammals like mice and such and usually frogs too, but in captivity they are fed pinkies (baby mice) and adult mice as the snake grow's bigger.
Mine was an albino Got her around Valentine's Day so named it sweetheart. The lump normally goes down after 3 days and then its safe to handle again. As corns are growing up most need to be fed every 7 days give or take a day, with a mouse that is one and a half times the width of the snake.
