Re: he is trying to get out!!!! is this normal
ok. maybe thats why he is always flyin around his cage. cause right after we feed him he sits on the hot side for like 3 days and then he starts comin out and lookin around.... soo ya i agree with feeding him more.

Toss him a mouse. Youre good to go. Keep bumping up the prey as you see him grow. Once the prey is not leaving much if any bump, you can bump it up to a larger prey item, or multiples, depending on what you decide to go with.

ya i think he is hungry. but i think his head is kinda small. i mean once he gets it half way down its easy for him but before that i looks like he is really working to get it down. and that was with a hopper mouse....

Feed Prey the size of the widest part of the body. Dont worry about the head size, your snake is quite capable of feeding on prey that seems large.

I shoulda took a pick of my boy eating his adult mouse last night. its sure a thing to see there head and neck streth to the size of the fattest part of there body. but they are designed to do it :)
id take a pic of his lump to give you an idea but he is in his hide digesting and im not one to bother him when he is.
