Feeding Question?

[Dakingpin714]

So i fed my snake last friday and he strked the mouse as soon as i put it in with him. so about 5 days later i see him moving around a lot, climbing, and i read sumwhere that it could mean hes searching for prey. this past friday, yesterday, and just liek last week. i dropped the mouse in, he realized it was there with him, and striked right away. is it normal or does it mean he was really hungry. And would feeding every 5-6 days a lil too much? i feed him every 7 days to be exact. And about the newspaper substrate, is it any kind of newspaper dat gets delivered every day?

How big is your snake? Usu. feeding once a week is enough, but if it's a very large snake, then you might want to go up in prey size. The prey should be just smaller than, or the same size as the thickest part of snakey's girth.
