To be honest, she looks healthy. You can always double up as well.. I do that with my larger female. My little guy is eating the same size as she is and she's a lot bigger. I thaw out 2 jumbo mice for her.. Sometimes she takes both, sometimes she doesn't. I offer the second one after she re-alligns her jaw and starts moving around a bit again and toungue flicking.

My pastel is not a picky eater at all. He was on rat pups when I got him, fed him a few to get used to everything, and now he's on mice, he'd probably go back to rats if need be.

Just keep trying to offer something a little bigger.. just judge by the widest part of the body.. you should see a little bit of a bump when the snake is finished eating.

I would try an adult mouse looking at the snake.
Goodluck!

Nice bright color and great blushing!

thats an awesome pic of her eatin

thanks! yeah she does look healthy and acts healthy. ive never had any problems with her eating ( except this week cause shes about to shed). she just wont even look at something larger than her hoppers right now. ive tried a few times. but i dont think she needs to be on anything bigger personally, just wanted to know your opinion! your guy is just much fatter , and im a sucker for the fatties lol
