Alright, so my gal had gotten quite chunky during my absence, and I have since managed to get permission to house my ball up here with me so I can watch over her much better now. Well... I've been knocked her down to a jumbo mouse last week instead 2 (petco) adult mice (which are not really even adults). She now gets around 3/4ths the meal size as she did prior, and I believe that should be of good size for the time being. I mean... she was starting to get fat rolls, and thats very much a no bueno. The thing now is... she's ALWAYS in hunt mode... she's striking at me even when I get too close to the cage. it's not anger strikes... you can tell she's hunting me by her poise... She went from the most docile animal in the world to a snake straight out of those rediculous anaconda movies... Yet, I have a hard time believing that i'm starving her... I guess she just really likes her mice.

my question is... has anyone else noticed a change in temperment when they try to curb a snakes weight? I imagine she'll calm down in a bit, but man... it's actually kinda fun. It keeps me on my toes.
