1 mouse or 2?

[TheHabit]

Last week I gave my ball 1 adult mouse on monday, but he happily took another on thursday (I let my curiosity get the best of me, and tried live). He had no problems at all with the live mouse. My question is, should I give him 2 mice tonight? I think he could stand a little weight gain, although I havent been able to get a scale yet, so I'm not sure exactly how much he weighs. He's about 22-24 inches long.

Easy does it. A 22" BP should probably be eating one adult mouse a week. Your prey size should be about the same size around (or slightly smaller) around than the widest part of your snake. Once a week should be fine.

Oohh, both of my 24" BPs eat 2 adult mice a week and it seems like they may start wanting more.

It's funny, because they'll eat on, and go inside their hide, I'll dangle another one in front of the hide and I have to be careful to not get bit.
