Re: PB has stopped eating

When we got the two of them they had been eating every other week and I felt they were a bit small for there ages so my plan was 3 quick meals then on to weekly, the 3 5-day meals ended on a sunday which was the day I wanted feeding day to be.

Re: Peanut Butter and Fluff :)
Ahhh, OK. I know a lot of emphasis is placed on BP weight in the hobby (probably more important when breeding), but body condition is a better indicator of how they are doing because weight is so variable. I used to weigh my BP's weekly, so I know how it is at first. But now I rarely weigh more than maybe once every 2 months because I go off how they look. You want them to have a slight triangular shape. So many snakes in captivity are overfed and obese. PB looked great in that first set of photos you posted of her, so I would try not to worry too much about 3.5 weeks not eating. She did eat a lot more food than she was used to in a short period of time.
