Growing question
This is MJ.
Right now she is at 1045 gm’s. She is an 07 and I am feeding her every 7 days about 70 to 80 gm’s per meal. She is one that will eat till I run out of rats, so it’s hard for me to gage if I am feeding too much. I don’t want her to be fat so my questions are, should I keep this schedule? Should I feed fewer grams per meal? Or should I go longer between feedings? If she looks OK to everyone here, I will just keep the same schedule.
Thank you for your help.

Re: Growing question
Spiders are notorious cochons.
She looks good, that schedule sounds good. If she starts slowing down, you can take that as a sign that she is overeating, and just skip the odd meal.
I wouldn't worry. If nothing, she could gain more and still be well within range.
She is a beaut too.

Re: Growing question
Sandy, she looks great! Not to chunky and not to thin. I would echo what Bruce said. Keep doing what you're doing because she looks beautiful and healthy.

Good looking snake. Never worry about overfeeding unless you are feeding prey that is much larger around than the widest section of the snake.
