I was told to feed my corn snake "hoppers". My snake is between 3-3.5 feet. I read that hoppers are 2.5 inches. Is this to big to feed my snake? I fed her a fuzzy but I didnt see a lump so that means i have to move up to the next food size.

length has little to do with determining food size. feed her something that's no more than 1.5x her girth at the widest point. if you aren't seeing a lump from a fuzzy, than its probably time to move her up

while I was breeding most of my neonates moved to fuzzies on their 3-4th feeding and were eating adult mice by the time they reached 2 ft
