Two of them were about 100g, so I think I'm underfeeding a bit. And I have large ones coming that are supposedly 100-150g. I haven't bothered to try a rat again, but I think it's worth a shot.

That reminds me of my loving, Wallace the retic in a smaller package.
I've never weighed him, and have never been able to measure him.
Nice looking bite there!

Yea, not really making a habit out of it, but I had to clean her enclosure anyway, so I didn't really need to do anything special to weigh her. I've tried this http://serpwidgets.com/main/measure a couple times and I get anywhere in the 7' range. I think that's accurate because her skin is 9'.

I have a measure app on my phone, but by the time I get it all set, he's on the move.
I'm guessing he's anywhere between 8 and 10 feet.
I'd say you are probably in the ballpark with your guess.

Re: New Scrub - Very Frightened / Nervous
If she's 1040g then 100g of food is a decent meal for her but I would occasionally give her larger meals. I definitely think it's worth trying to get her on rats. It'll make things a lot easier as she grows. I'd try scenting and chain feeding for the next 2-3 offerings and then shut off the quail entirely. That should familiarize her with the new food source. Once she's eating rats consistently I'd start offering a diverse diet.

Chain feeding a small quail and medium rat worked perfectly. Seems like she took longer to find the food, not sure if coincidence or not, but it still worked.

The chain feeding worked I guess. She just ate a large rat.

Sounds like your girl is finally on track W. She should eat anything you throw at her now. Keep us posted.

She didnt eat the rat last week, despite her acting hungry. And she didnt eat the rat last night, so after a few hours, I threw in a small quail. But after checking this morning, she didnt eat either of them. What a pain.
