So we adopted a gal yesterday and may just be fostering, it all depends on if I can get the husband to fall in love with her. But for now she's in our care. The former owners were not snake people and were feeding her only one medium rat a month, not realizing she needed more. I took her to the vet today and she weights 938 gramsShe is 3 feet long and an adult of 3 and a half years.
What can I do to increase her weight healthily? Should I try a rat every two weeks or give her larger meals? Should I do smaller rats but give her more of them?
They've also taken her to the vet to be checked out and there is nothing wrong with her. She HAS had a few bad sheds, chunky pieces and not whole one piece sheds but right now her skin looks healthy to me.
