    They can be fed once every 5-7 days an appropriate sized meal. Adult mice are fine, but without a weight it's hard to tell you what size you should be feeding it (not length...weight).

    How often are you feeding? How old is the snake? Do you know roughly how much it weighs?

    I don't really see a problem with feeding two mice if he'll take them. I feed my 3 month old bee rat pups, which I guess would be roughly the same as two small mice. Snakes generally are opportunistic feeders so they always seem hungry.
