    how much too feed??
    Hey there...newbie here again...lol
    so I fed my bp Sheldon last thursday as his schedule said to do. I fed him one thawed frozen fuzzie, now my question is...how do I know if he is still hungry and wants another one? I dont want to over feed him, but I want to make sure he gets enough.. I also finally added some pics :-)

    You should go by weight. His meals should be 10-15% of his body weight.

    You can also feed by the guidline of "a rodent that is the same girth as the widest part of your snake". I personally use my scale for weighing snakes, but not rodents. :)
