Question
Now, uh, I need clips for my cage right? Can you recommend the best one. I bought some and I have no idea how it's on. The cage clips are there to keep the snake from pushing out right?

Feeding. Feeding is only once a week for a young corn snake right? The feeder should only be as thick as his mid section correct?

Answer
I perfer the small plastic "Critter Keeper" cages for young corns, them seem to fit the tightest.  Move it up to a glass cage once it is eating hopper mice.  Feed every 5-7 days, don't go more than 10 w/o feeding.  Thickness can actually be 120% of the thickest part of the snake.
