Fernie's looking great Craig. I had a feeling you'd really like Morelia. I know your girl is 155g and adult mice are cool but I think you should give her bigger meals at least occasionally. I was feeding my carpets 18g meals when they were 85g. I fed my coastal his first jumbo mouse when he was 140g. I'm all for the slow growth approach with my boas. Pythons and colubrids are a little different. I feed them fairly heavily for the first 2 years and then I dial them back. You'll see that much of their food intake goes towards their growth. I also look at their poop sizes. Big poops mean more excess. Smaller poops mean they retained more of those meals. My Olive would take large meals but have small poops and it was all healthy growth. You've seen my adult carpets as well. I'm not saying you should change anything just sharing my 2 cents.
