    double feeding?
    So Stella has been eating adult mice since i got her in early November. She's grown a little bit and I don't notice any bulging on her body after she's eaten... I bought an extra mouse today, but I don't know if it'd be a good idea to feed her a second mouse in the same meal.

    Can a brotha get some help?

    She'll be fine. :gj: Just make sure that she takes them one at a time. May I suggest bumping her up to rats next meal?

    nice... i put the second mouse in as Stella was perched on the side of her feeding tank. She watched the mouse scuttle around and then she struck from above! So awesome. She's currently trying to figure out how to get the second mouse in her mouth. Thanks guys!

    Not that I am any EXPERT, nor do I claim to be, but I think your snake will be ok :)

    What's the deal with this in almost every post you make lately? Inquiring minds would like to know.

    My normal won't eat rats so I am forced to feed multiple mice. I have fed her 3 mice before. One after another. Once she's finished with the first, I give her a minute to adjust her jaw before I give her the 2nd. I continue the pattern with the 3rd. Not a big deal. If I could only get her on rats I wouldn't have to do this every time. Oh well. Don't sweat it, she'll be fine.
