    If he's really 2200 grams try a medium rat instead of multimple mice. If he takes it, leave him alone for a few days to digest and then handle him. If he's not ravenously hungry he may have a whole different attitude.

    LOL that logic doesn't work when the females are also the snake keepers. My husbands the chef in the house, if the scale or the temp gun is missing I can guarantee you who took it

    Re: Do snakes overeat?

    1132 grams if I weighed him right. (Put him in a makeshift snake bag and bowl, subtracted the weight of each). Took the opportunity to clean his tank while he was out for weighing. He is investigating and enjoying laying in the fresh water (81.8 f). I'm enjoying my new non-contact thermomer and scale (Christmas present to muhself) and also enjoying my very , apparently, better feeling snake. Still hasn't checked out the new hide, but little bits at a time.

    Re: Do snakes overeat?

    I think the "gormet Rodent's" brand of frozen rats they have at the closest petshop, is like 120g for a med rat. So I'm either gonna do that, or try smaller and work my way up. I was extremely surprised he ate f/t for me. I am a very VERY proud momma right now. Lol.

    I'm offering a medium rat (100g) every week and a half. I want to make sure he can eat it.
