    I understand that everyone here is trying to help her, but it just kind of bothers me to read the whole "do you have this, that, what are the exact temperatures, blah blah blah" stuff. It's not like she went out and bought this snake without doing any research. She found a snake that someone left behind and was nice enough to try to take care of it. So of course, she isn't going to have the exact perfect, coveted set-up right away. Maybe instead of automatically asking those types of questions to a person who has never owned a snake and is rescuing one from a negligent owner, we should suggest the proper things to do instead of assuming that they're going to have everything correct right away. If they've never had a snake, they're not going to know exactly what to do or that it even needs to have thermometers, thermostats, etc. Hence the reason why she came here.

    Nalababi, you came to the right place to ask for advice and everyone here is giving you great advice. I pretty much don't have anything to add other than what everyone else has told you. Feeding him multiple prey items in one feeding isn't recommended. Go with what Agent told you and feed it prey that is no larger than the widest part of his body. Since he's been eating well, I'm sure if you feed him once a week or every 5 days or so, he'll be in good shape in no time.
    (If you want to be cool, taken seriously and accepted on reptile forums, insert the same X.X or X.X.X signature that everyone else has here.)
