    okay i promise i'm not trying to be mean but you didn't use a single period or any punctuation throughout this entire block of text. it's hard to retain your separate thoughts into something coherent, which makes it hard to respond properly.

    to sum up what i could: seems like a hungry snake. stick to a 7 day feeding schedule and weigh your snake periodically to monitor weight gain and to know when to move up in prey size.
