3 on its own, a few assist fed, and several force feeds when I first got the animal. I've never had a problem with feeding the same day as a sale, but maybe it was too much for this animal.
I also wonder since it was a motorcycle ride what kind of temps where in the compartment with the snake.
OMFG are you kidding me??? Of course it was the heat. It is HOT out there. When I first got my snakes I went and picked up two hoppers on my bike. 10 min drive in September (Florida though). Dead as door nails.
