Too big? (Feeding Picture)

So, I'm getting to the point where I'm stepping Drake up to the next size, but I'm not sure if it's too big for her. She's eaten 3 of the bigger size so far, but I'm still not sure if I'm pushing it too much.

And yeah, she was going into shed when this was taken. I just didn't notice it until I was looking at the picture later.

and one showing her overall not curled up size

Might be a slight big, if she can move after like it was nothing she'll be fine.

Its kinda hard to tell from the pics but it should be as big around as her fattest part. If she has eaten three of them and has kept it down then I think if ok

Looks good to me! :gj: Especially if she's still eating consistantly. One of the best indicators of too big is a fast after eating a single meal. As long as she's eating consistantly and looking like that from a side view, keep up the good work!

The only problem she seems to have is that she can't really fit in her hides afterwards(but I think I need to upgrade those anway, especially the chinese food container one). The entrances aren't tall enough for her to get in without lifting them up a bit.

Other than that, she seems ok, she just curls up on her warm side as usual for a day or two.

Looks good to me. I feed mine like that.

I agree with everyone else here, looks ok to me! I generally try to follow the "only as big as the largest section of the snake" rule, but sometimes you just can't. As long as it isn't obviously too large, you're usually okay with pushing it a little once in a rare while. Just use common sense :P

I love seeing the skin on the neck stretch out like that, it means the snake is going to be full shortly :banana:

Not trying to tell you how to take care of your Snake but u shouldn't feed him/her with all that bedding in their like that.

Why? There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing so.

To the OP, when switching to a bigger size it always seems too big at first to me as well. It seems like yours are just fine.
