Question
helo i got a corn snake and is it about 1 foot long and is has been eatin 3-4 pinkys a week is this normal

Answer
It's hard to say exactly, but if it's a foot long I'm thinking it could probably eat fuzzy or hopper sized mice. A general rule of thumb is that the food item should make a noticeable budge and remain that way about a day or two until digested. Now you can keep feeding pinkies all you want, but I'm thinking your snake can probably handle more.
