Hissing/Squeaking but eating like a black hole...
So my girl has been on a bit of a hunger streak that just recently ended. She at last sunday for the first time, but kept poking her head out, so I fed her another which she also devoured. Thursday, she at 3 more, and tonight, she was once again S'ing up her neck just outside of her hide(her typical feed me behavior) and sure enough she ate in seconds. I usually thaw in warm water and then heat a little extra under the heat lamp on top of the tank... she stretched all the way across the tank with what seemed like half her body just to reach towards the snake.
The mice are a little small(I have five left in the bag before upping the size) but at 30g for a 500g snake, I think feeding two shouldn't be bad, but I'm surprised she's eating this much now.
The other thing is she's been making a noise that sounds like squeeking, but I'm assuming is hissing. It's not constant and she did it earlier when I remove her hide for a second. She'll do it sometimes when I put her back in the tank while she roams, but then stops.
The reason I'm explaining all this is she's shown no other signs of an RI, but the noise makes me nervous. But if she had an RI would she be eating like that?
Temps are 92/84 humidity 50-60%
