    After the feeding Wednesday the snake was in the hide with the head poking out and seemed to keep following my movements each time I walked by.

    Any ideas on if the food is not enough?
    With 3 super easy feedings I feel ready to transition to Rats
    If the weights aren't taken when the snake is "empty" that weight could change pretty quickly after the snake goes to the bathroom.

    And yes, the snake is probably hungry, those are pretty small meals for a growing BP. Try to shoot for prey items to be between 10-15% of the snake's body weight until the snake reaches sub-adult or adult size.
