Ok I just adoped a what I have been told to be a 4 yr old female BP. She seems to be fairly small for the age at aprox 2 1/2 ft but I had only had one male and got him when he was already almost 3 1/2 ft and no idea how old but had him for 11 years...anyway I have had her for a week n half now and the previous owner said she was a "good eater" and ate live mice every tuesday. she was easy going and liked to be handeled and is actually in shed but monday night definitly started to act hungry (my old snake would never eat during shedding) so I figured I would just keep to her schedule and fed her tuesday evening and see what happened, 2 adult mice gone... next morning she is still striking the side of her tank when anyone comes near it... so that evening I gave her a small rat since they are the same price as 2 mice and she has the girth to handel it... ate it no problem in 2 min flat and she is still striking the glass! should I just let her chill for a couple days and see or what? I tried to get ahold of the guy that got rid of her to at least see if maybe he fed her more then that at a time etc but he isnt answering. I dont want to over stuff the poor snake but I dont want her striking the glass for a week either...
