    My girl eats 2 mice as she won't touch rats. You are correct there is no telling the snake will take both until tried. So he has the two hoppers why not try.

    Nothing wrong with feeding him twice if that's what you have.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    Re: Should I Feed Extra After Shed?

    When my banana male was around 80-100 grams I always fed him 2 hoppers, I would feed him the smaller one first so he would still be a little hungry for the second one. Also when he's in shed I still offer him food and he takes it no problem. He's around 140g now and he takes adult mice or rat fuzzies no problem. Just for a reference for growth I got him 10/1 at 65g and last week he's around 140g I feed every 4-5 days.

    Thanks guys! I appreciate it. Good idea feeding the smaller one first.

    Just wondering, are these tiny horn things normal in snakes? I googled it and plenty of others had em, just not sure if its normal or a health issue.. Feel like I just found my snakes ass hahaha

    Hahaha, right on. So it is a male snake then? I thought probing was really the only way to find out?

    No both male and female have them. You can probe or pop them to sex them. There are a coulpe good YouTube vids that show you how

    Cool, thanks. I think I'll wait until he's a little more comfortable with me before I probe him/her.
