    Re: New here, these are my snakes :-)

    Haha! Thank you Patrick. I've been told that before. Some people tell me I'm the spitting image of my Aunt but not my mother, and a lot of the time people can't tell my aunt and my mother apart. Strange how things work.

    BigSnake went off the feed for two months this winter and now that she's come off it, she's ravenous. Every time I walk past the tank she's in the strike position. I've been giving her two mice weekly (the stupid pet shop doesn't carry rats and the biggest mice they have are generally very very small) I feel mean, like she isn't full or something, but I don't want to overfeed her so I suppose I'll just stick to the 2 smallish mice weekly, and we'll see how things turn out by breeding season. Thanks for the warm welcomes, everybody :-D

    I'm not a mouse feeder, we raise our own rats but if you're trying to get a bit more weight on her I'd think she'd likely need more than 2 mice weekly just to achieve the total prey volume you want for a breeding female. Try and see if she'll take 1 or 2 more or tighten that up to every 5 days and see how it goes. A good digital scale is your friend when you own a snake or are contemplating breeding them.

    If they will eat frozen/thawed you could order frozen feeders online. If they are eating live, you should probably try to feed frozen any way. I think your female will be ready this season, unless she goes on another big fast.
    Welcome/I think you'll like it here!!!
