i've been keeping my male kinda lean for breeding season. im not getting him skinny, just to where he has an "athletic" look. know what i mean? ive been feeding him one small rat once a week. they're about 2/3rds his girth or a little less.

ive been feeding vanessa one prey item that is close to her girth but a little less once a week to get her a little heavier for breeding season but im being careful not to get her fat. i dont want her to slug out.
