Don't pay any attention to the 10-15% of the body weight rule. That's something that should honestly stop getting posted. I mean realistically how many keepers that are only keeping a few snakes actually have a scale. Then of those keepers 99% of them probably don't breed their own rodents, so it's not like somebody is really going to take a scale to a pet store and start weighing rats/mice. This is why the 10-15% thing should stop being posted altogether.
Thank you Neal. I don't have any immediate plans to breed her in the future but I do want her to be happily well fed. I said she was "chubby" because you could just tell. her tail was small and then when you get past her booty, it was like a lump. so you could just tell she was still full but she should be good now since she pooped and everything. the reason I posted this was to get people's opinions and not get ridiculed lol. a 10 day schedule sounds like it might work for her. it makes sense to just wait an extra couple of days so that she has more time to digest her previous meal. Yeah I usually go with eye balling the size, and she has a slight lump each time but nothing protrusive. Thanks for the advise
