    Re: New BP Questions

Curious if thats normal for that size of snake to eat two adult mice. I felt he was a little over fed but i feel i may be too new to this area to know for sure. Thoughts? Also, since he ate two mice on 10/2 should i try and offer him a meal today (10/9) or give him some more time to digest. He still looks like he might be digesting. I have set up a 20gal long bio active habitat for him and will be moving him to that in the next day or two. Should I try and feed him before the move or move him and then wait a few more days before offering a meal?

    Thanks
    Two adult mice? Store is wrong or the snake is an aggressive feeder.

    I would wait to feed. Try three or four days (or more) after a poop.
