Would it be okay to feed the snake maybe 2 5g mice in 1 sitting? I don't want to let $6 worth of frozen rodents go to waste.

    I guess I'll add that I have a 85*F hotspot with a hide (under the tank heater) and a cool hide (ambient temperature of the cage right now is about 78-80*F). He spends most of his time going back and forth between his cool hide and warm hide, which I've read is typical so I would assume he's comfortable in his tank.
    Mine only hangs on his hot side,once in a while explores to the cool side.. Dude,feed him the fuzzies,it's fine...he's still eating and getting nutrition,he won't be starving..feed him every 5 days,then when your put of fuzzies go buy small mice and feed him those,see how he takes them and then decide if u wanna go bigger or nt if it's the right size..like I said I have my guy for 4 weeks now and started with fuzzies and is now on med mice...this is al common sense stuff man..Justus's your head,don't over analyze every single thing. Keep the warm side atleast 85-90 with a heat bulb and I also use a uv bulb for natural light and UTH and keep humidity on avg around 40-60 and he will be fine... When he sheds keep humidity higher as much as you can,up to like 60-80 on avg...his is my first snake and it's no problems man..cleaned my tank fully out today,which is 4 weeks later and through the last 4 weeks just spot cleaned.

    make sure you mist the tank a few times a day,I'd say 2-3 atleast..to increase humidity and keep heat in,place a damp rag on top the screen,that will help kyphosis in heat and increase humidity.
