increasing feed for female breeders

600 grams in 2 months, if she's not solid and firm, she had to be like whitney to begin with! lol how did you get those gains? did you thaw out the whole bag and let her eat what she wanted? (joke) just popped in my head! lol seriously i think you're feeding fine and you'll get them all up to size if they are ready, utimately it is up to each snake.

she was about 1400 to begin with. i think that a lot of her gain was in length instead of girth. i'm hoping the girth will follow. she eats 1 medium rat and then after the other snakes eat i usually offer her another small rat that is left over from what the others don't eat (once per week). i was going to switch her to just multiple small rats after reading some posts here about others having issues with their bps going off feed for short periods of time as a result of the large meal that a medium rat is but she hasn't seemed to be affected by that. she is my record holder for most eaten and least missed meals. :) i think she has missed one meal since i've had her because she was in deep shed on feeding day.

Adam, that is good too know. I am going to weigh my girl tomorrow and see what she is at. I thought multiples might be overfeeding...
