Maybe I will pick up some small weaned rats and try that next feeing. She is eating the pups pretty fast now and they are pretty much same thickness as her biggest part of her body.

You could always try the size in between - rat fuzzies :)

Don't forget that snakes, just like people, are capable of over-feeding to the point of obesity.

It's so easy to indulge snakes that are plain just good eaters, but you'll have a healthier snake that produces clutches (if you ever breed) much more consistently if you have a snake that isn't overfed.

Yeah I understand, I'm really don't wantto overfeed but at the same time, want to make sure they aren't underfed. For now I'm feeding my female bp every 4-5 days and my boa every 7 but he's under 400g still so not sure if he needs less days in-between.
