    That is good stuff. I would like to see Adam's opinion on the whole thing. Sometimes I feel like they are hungry right after one small rat. Maybe its time to go back to mediums for the bigger ones.

    i can't speak for adam, but i know he can raise up some big yearlings! i've seen some his yearlings at 1200 grams plus. he feeds small rats no bigger and the main thing is that they feed steady every week.

    he feeds multiples on the ones that will eat more, but only once a week . alot of people will feed there snakes alot like 3-4 times a week to get them big. i think feeding multiples only once a week is enough and it gives the snake time in between digesting.

    This week the youngest one Rionach will get one nice fat wean as it was obviously a good meal for her last time (took her awhile to get it down)....the next oldest Kyna will go to two rat weans or a small rat as it was obviously not a good meal for her (she continued to look for more but since it was the first rat feeding we wanted to go slow)....Saoirse will start very small (when she's ready) as her digestion has been shut down for months and I'm scared of a regurg if I push her too large, too fast.
