Alright, then I will concider feeding in my tank. Do you guys do anything like put down a piece of cardboard that is like half the size of the tank inside of the tank for feeding? Feed that on that piece of cardboard to help prevent any substrait getting eaten? I read someone did this but I dont know if it is a very common process.

And thanks for the 10-15% of bodyweight tip. I did not know that one. Very useful.

I feed frozen/thawed food, so all I do is just fold a piece of paper in half and put the food on it. If you are feeding live it would be a good idea to put a larger piece of cardboard down. Your snake eating a little bit of the substrat here and there is not a problem. After all, a snake's stomach acid is strong enough to disolve bone and teeth. Even the ovens at a crematory have difficulty doing that.
