my bp loooks hungry and she has eaten 4 mice

It's called feeding mode. They will stay in that feed mode until the prey smell dissipates. I have babies that would keep on eating, but they only get 1-2 medium adult mice. They'd eat 4 and explode if I let them.

At that size, feed her two large adult mice. She'll be fine and will grow the same. Too much food equals ALOT of poop :) So that just equals you throwing mice in the trash because her body isn't using it.

also, one you have gotten your snake to feed once, it is in "feeding mode", and will look for other things to eat. which is why it appears hungry. it isnt, its just its instincts taking over.
