I'd get him on a longer schedule. He needs time to digest but I also don't think your giving him large enough prey. My neonate hatchlings start on mouse hoppers and quickly move up. Even still 2 days is a little quick to feed again.

As I said, he eats HOPPERS. The store did not have any when it was time to fee so I had to give him fuzzies. That is why I feed him so soon.

You don't go by the width of the neck. You should be feeding your bp one prey item about as big around as the girth of the thickest part of his body. Snakes unhinge their jaws and stretch around the prey. I think you should be fine to up the prey size to adult mice, at least small adult mice...

Yes I that. My husband, who worked with snakes for many years, said that hoppers are the size he needs. It is a bit hard for him to swallow the hoppers.
