Feeding your Columbian....

[Andariel]

My Sprocket is 60" long with an 8" girth and weighs approx. 1950grams. Would anyone that has a Columbian about that size tell me what size and how many rats you feed yours? I was feeding Spocket one large rat a week and it gave her a slight lump but it disapated in a matter of hours. So on friday I fed her two medium rats (mostly cause the petstore was out of large rats) and she has a much larger lump in her, and she's in anchor butt mode where she hasn't moved a whole lot since she ate except to get a drink of water and hide.

The buldge she has from teh 2 rats is going down now, but by this time with one rat she's be back to normal again. So my question is do you feed your Columbians till they have a small lump (like with one rat) or till they're good and full with 2 smaller rats?

Jazzy gets one rat per meal. When she was smaller, I gave her two, and occasionally I'll switch it up and throw her a second. Normally, though, she gets one.
