feed my snake again?

I fed my female BP a small f/t adult mouse last night. She is weighing in at 385 grams and I know these mice are way to small for her. Unfortunately this is all the pet store had available and it was to late to go anywhere else. My snake is cruising around her tank like she is still hungry even after I fed her last night. Can I go ahead and feed her another small mouse tonight? I am going to be ordering small rats for her as I know they are the appropriate size to be feeding her.

Last week when my Pinstripe refused, I fed the hopper to Snickets. Her scheduled feeding day was the next day, and she gladly took the rat then too. I made sure to give her extra time to digest, and she was ok. I would say it wouldn't hurt. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.

Thanks Elise! I was hoping someone would reply.

Anytime!

I really don't have the experience to be taken credible but I think you probably could have fed her 2 last night. Looking at rodentpro.com large adult mice at listed as being 20-29 grams (retired breeders are larger). With that being said if she ate half of what she could handle then I'd don't see issue in feeding her tonight. Just start the days over tonight so feed her in 5 days or 7 if that what you choose.
