Corn snakes. What temperature is optimum for a baby corn snake to digest its food?

I have had the snake a week and set the tank up so one side is 22- 24 degrees C and the other 27- 29 degrees C. It struck for its food well. ( two pinkies) as previously advised to feed it once a week. It is twelve weeks old. Any other advice would be welcome as this is my first snake. Also I dont intend to use it to breed so is it likely to bruminate if the tank is at a constant temperature range as I have set it up?
Answers:
those temperatures are just fine. see, the great thing about snakes, is given they have a good temp. gradient, they will take care of finding the perfect temperature within the tank. the only thing that might change with your snake is during the spring, and usually only if its a male. he may stop feeding for around 3 months. corns are not extremely variable, but this may happen, but more as he gets older. once a week is perfectly fine to feed, although if its that old i usually feed mine more wen they are that young, about every 4 days.

Your set up and temperature range sounds fine but if your warm end is thermostatically controlled you could bump it up just a couple degrees. Make sure you are not feeding directly on loose particle substrate to avoid accidental ingestion. Your baby will be shedding regularly so if you don't already have a humid hide then you should provide one. They really help avoid shed problems.
As your snake approaches maturity (1 1/2 to 2 years) then you may notice a natural slow down in appetite and activity as the days shorten. He will not technically brumate unless you expose him to cooler temperatures.

you have the optimum temperatures in your tank already. My warm spot in my tank will get up to 30 degrees in the late day, so you should have no problems at all with digesting.

The only thing I might add, is that since your baby is taking two pinkies, it should be able to feed on one larger item instead. A small fuzzy should be fine. Unless you drop the temperatures and place the snakes in a cool place, they will not brumate. I only brumate my breeders. All others are kept at normal temperatures. Males do go off feed sometimes at breeding time. Usually around the age of 1 1/2 - 2 years old.
