Should I feed more?

try using the charts listed in this post for feeding sizes. I've been following it and my BP seems to be able to handle his food well/is eating enough.
sometimes the pet store here doesn't have bigger sized food, so I just feed him multiple fuzzies, but I weigh everything to make sure he's getting enough/not too much.

also, i wouldn't handle him too much. i've noticed my BP is much more content when I just leave him alone. I know its hard cos you just wanna play with them, but handling too much can stress them out.

Yeah, pretty much follows the 10% rule of weight of snake/weight of pre item. I just feed mine what looks right. Never weighed them, just what I know he likes and keeps him at a nice size. People over think it. Be sensible, don't go crazy and get massive prey, but don't go the other way and buy tiny prey. Just use ya head haha.

Thanks again for all of the advice! I left him alone last night and will try handling tomorrow. 2nd feeding, no regurg, and when I peeked in he was coiled on the rock hide under his lamp. Seems like everything is going well.
