I'm a bit worried I'm over feeding her though ( hence the chubby question) as I tend to use her as garbage disposal if the male corn isn't hungry.

Last week she had 3 full grown mice and I asumed she wouldn't be hungry this week she ate two fullgrowns as if nothing was different. I was originally trying to fatten her a little for breeding but changed my mind after the male seemed disintrested in the first session, so she never got to use any of the "extra" weight. She now seems to expect a second helping of mouse and I always feel such a heel putting them back in the tank hungry.

Well in the long run she will be in better health and a better breeder if she is not allowed to get "chunky" .So when she looks at you wondering where is the rest of her dinner tell her no .We have to keep our scaley kids in grat shape
