    We haven't weighed my daughter's snake yet, but just judging from the picture, should we feed her two hoppers? I know we need to weigh her, but this is her first meal for us and we didn't want to handle her till she ate.

    Well by the looks I would only feed one but pictures can be deceiving. How much does it weigh? General rule of thumb is one meal about as big around as your snake or the other is 10-15% of its body weight

    By the way in the photo that looks like a fuzzy not a hopper

    Like I said we haven't weighed her yet. We were letting her settle in. The Fuzzy then, weighed 7 grams. The scale I looked at the cut off for fuzzy was 6 grams, so I called it a Hopper
