They are fed in a different tank, where they remain for a few hours before they are re-introduced into the large tank. At this time, they also get cleaned with a warm cloth (which they love).
Over the past 10 years with these 2 snakes, we've had good feeding periods and bad, but they are healthy and could probably go 6 months without eating and remain healthy. I'm hoping to get the new girl nice and large (1500-2000 grams) before putting them together. I feel, at that point, they'll be less stressed... and if they do get stressed, it'll buy me 6 months to get them 'un-stressed'....
