BP too fat?

[stupidcracker00]

My BP is only 3 months old and I'm feeding her two live mice every 7 days. She eats them no problem (it actually looks like she could eat another one). I've just read that over feeding can lead to obesity and a shorter life span. She is 22 in. long and 150 g empty. She's probably around 1-1.5 inches thick at her thickets part. Am I feeding her too much or am I just paranoid?

Thanks in advance,
SC

3 months old and 150 grams is not fat

Sounds like she's healthy. Mine is almost 28" and 190g so it seems proportional.

Lol well I don't have a good camera to take pics. From what I can tell the only time I can see skin between the scales is when I look at wherever her body is curved.

I think I was just paranoid because it had only been 2 days since I fed her so she was lookin a little chunky It's day 3 and she looks a little better.

That's reassuring Ya she looks a lot better today. How old is urs? And what does it feed on?

Mine is a few months old, not sure how many. I feed extra large mice. Small rats are a tad to big still and I can't get rat pups where I am. She only eats live or fresh killed, no f/t. I try to refrain from feeding live so she usually takes F/K.

Where do you find extra large mice? Is feeding two mice just as good? Personally I think shes getting more food with the two mice. I would prefer to feed her 1 huge mouse though because it will be cheaper. right now it's costing me 7 bucks a feed.
