I think that it is good you are trying so hard for this baby. I understand about being worried about the eating habits. I have a little tiny BP, and when I first got her she refused to eat for three weeks. So was so skinny and so tiny I was afraid to give her the right size food because it looked so huge for her tiny self.

But, after I got her two or three little tiny mice, she started looking for the rest of the food each time she ate. So I bumped up from feeding one to feeding two. She did that twice, but she was STILL looking for more. So I got her the next size of mouse, but that mouse looked HUGE compared to her. She gulped it down like she'd never eaten before and wanted another!

I made her wait the 5 days, then I gave her two that size. She looked like she had swallowed a baseball bat, but she was happy. Now she takes two every 5 days, and she's not fat, just normal size. You'd have to feed your snake a lot of prey for a long, long time to make her fat. She will be just fine with two hopper size mice or two fuzzy rats every 5 days for a while. The good rule is 10 - 15 % of the snakes weight every five days until they are about 500 grams, then drop back to once a week.

If you have trouble finding a local source of food for her, check online. There are a number of sources of pre-frozen mice and rats as well as a few that sell live. Some places you have to buy a ridiculous amount, like 50 at a time, but I've seen some that sell as few as 10 at a time.

But really, don't worry about making her fat. You'd have to feed her one or two mice/rats every day for months to make her that fat!

Best of luck with your baby.
