not so shy

Today I fed Shinobi 1 medium sized adult mouse (instead of 3 hoppers) and although it took him a little longer to get down, he had no problems with it. That was about 3 hours ago and usually after I feed him he goes right back into his hide. Today, however, he hasnt gone back into his hide yet since I fed him. I'm thinking its probably just because he doesnt want to curl up with a larger prey item in his stomach. He's just hanging out in the front corner on the warm side of the tank. I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on him for now.

He is waiting for the Entrée now!:

Id stick another mouse in there, he might not be stuffed yet How big is he?

[TheHabit]

dont know his weight, but hes around 2 feet long. I dont know if he could have been waiting for another...he seemed pretty bulgy after the first mouse lol

[darkbloodwyvern]

two feet sounds like he could use it. Try and see if you have another now, or buy two next week. I'm sure he'd appreciate it! My male was pounding 3-4 mice when he was about three feet.

What I do with my smaller snakes is once they hit a couple hundred grams I feed them 2 large mice(25g) every other week. In between those feedings they only get 1 large mouse. This keeps them eating every week but also puts the extra weight on them without stuffing them. I fear that if I feed 2 large mice every week they will go of feed eventually so 2 every other seems to be working very well. My 07 babies are growing between 100-130g per shed cycle(4-6weeks) and I think thats pretty normal for a growing baby but I could be wrong.
