    hmm what to do?

    Eey every one,

    at august 12th i brought home a 2013 orange ghost female that was 313 grams (she had an difficult start at feeding with the breeder) but she was in shed. on the 15th she had shed and i offered her a mouse and she took it right away and ofc i noticed the mouse was to small for her, 2 days later i put her in a other tub to hold her while i was cleaning her own. and i thought ok that one mouse was to small i will offer her another mouse and see if she takes it, and she took it.

    But her it comes, now again 2 days later she is running through her tub like crazy almost as if she is looking for the next prey. (have seen this behaviour from my boa's before)

    and now i am not sure what to do, offer another prey or wait till there is 5 days since the last feeding?

    ps. yes i will try to move her up to rats but she is feeding on live mice now and i want her to take atleast pre-killed first before moving her up to rats.

    Feed on normal feeding days, You can offer her every 3-4 days at that size. Or offer every week.

    Well i usualy feed my young animals once every 4-5 days. But this behaviour she is showing i havent seen in a ball python yet. Plus the fact she has been a problem eater in the past, made me insure what to do.

    But i guess i am gonna let her wait a little and continue on the normal scedule of once every 4-5 days
