I find I get feeders and have a variation in sizes so ordering the correct size I usually get some a bit small and some a bit big. I often break the package down to individual animal (or pairs one for each of yours) wright the weight on the out side and return them to the freezer. I'll start with the smaller ones and work to the larger ones. If they are all manageable I mix it up a smaller one one week the larger the next, rather than feed all the biggest ones and then be light for a while.
Thank you with all the kitchen scales available that puts more perspective on which type to choose. It has been about 15 years since I owned or worked with any snakes and even longer since I handled babies so I am a bit out of practice on growth rate. by my best guess these girls should be at least 5-6 months old and 4-5 months old their records where despicable they where being fed only one pinkie or fuzzie per week and had refused food about 85% of the time. So I am confident that they are currently underweight but we already have them eating regularly. Not to many places to get snakes locally and I am out of the loop on who is reputable when ordering online so we went with the pet store option
Any tips or tricks recommended are appreciated lots of new things on the market now a days
