[lpurvis12]

Hey there...newbie here again...lol
so I fed my bp Sheldon last thursday as his schedule said to do. I fed him one thawed frozen fuzzie, now my question is...how do I know if he is still hungry and wants another one? I dont want to over feed him, but I want to make sure he gets enough.. I also finally added some pics :-)

You should go by weight. His meals should be 10-15% of his body weight.

I offer all of our smaller snakes 10% to 15% of body weight two times a week

You can also feed by the guidline of "a rodent that is the same girth as the widest part of your snake". I personally use my scale for weighing snakes, but not rodents.
