both of my black bloods have taken 4 meals for me. approx 10 to 15 gram FT rat each at each feeding.
the male strikes hard and immediately every time but my little girl sniffs at the rat for a while, seemingly inspecting the entire thing, then ever so gently opens her mouth and slowly takes the rat from the tongs.
is this normal for a healthy blood?

my guy is up to 122 grams but my little girl is only up to 84 grams. she actually lost 5 grams from last week. these weights were taken the day before feeding and they are on a 5 day feeding schedule.

both of these snakes are really docile. great to handle. the girl seems "weak" though. should i be doing anything different with their feeding?

temps and humidity are good. i check thermometer/hygrometers before work, after work and before bed i check again with a temp gun.
