    BP still hungry?

    Got my first guy at 99g and he didnt eat the first two weeks, i switched from glass to sterilite and he's eaten very quickly the last three weeks in a row. I've been going every six days.

    He weighs 129g and i fed a 16g rat..about 12% body weight. Right now he's in the open between both hides in an S shape like he's ready to strike again.

    What is normal post feed behavior? Could he still be hungry?

    Could be feeding behaviour or he’s just being defensive and you walking by spooked him.

    Maybe..i was about 15 ft away walking by the entrance to the room and i see hes still like that. Also when im about to feed it looks like hes trying to bust the lid off his tub

    Sounds like he's still in feed mode. It can last hours. I've read it can last over 24 hours, but haven't experienced that with any of my snakes. But, yeah, a few hours is pretty common.
