Can you feed a snake 1 mouse after the other?
I think i might have a mouser on my hands... anyway, i bought two mice and was wondering: Can you feed a snake 1 mouse after the other? or should I wait a day or 2?

You sure can ;)
Feed the first mouse and give him time to get it down, you will see him re-align his jaw (looks like a yawn), once he has done that he should be ready for the 2nd mouse.
I let mine go back into the hide and get settled again prior to offering the 2nd prey item.
Hope this helps :D

Mine eat them as fast as they can swallow them down. No problem!:)

Yes but some snakes, like mine, likes to let the first mouse settle and eat the second the following day.
