    Feed again? Or wait?

    My girl was at 155 g when I weighed her on Friday. That same day, I fed her a rat pup that was unfortunately on the small size. Every time I enter the room, she's sticking her head out as if she's still hungry. Should I feed her before her next feeding, which would be on Wednesday, or wait until her next feeding?

    I don't know what others do, but when my snakes are small I like to feed them whenever they are looking hungry particularly if the last meal was small. Snakes are very 'feast or famine' might as well get them to feast if they are in the mood.

    Id wait. Bettet for her if she gets on a steady feeding plan even if if one meal is a bit small
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Even if she eats fine already? She's never refused food and I even changed her plan once before when I realized I should be feeding her more often. I just don't want her going hungry.

    Yea cause you dont want a feeding strike due to over eating as she gets older. But again thsts just me.

    At that size, I'd feed every 5 days and just stick to it for now! Feeding strikes are more likely to happen from an overly well-fed snake.
