    i was just wondering

    I have a 2 1/2 year old royal who always seems very active but only seems to want to eat 1 to 2 large mice every month even tho i try her weekly.She is bout 3 1/2 foot long and weighs 1000g and seems very healthy. Can u tell me if this is ok or do i need to try something to get her to feed more.

    Are you sure it's a female? It may be that you have a male, which tend to stay smaller as well. Also you may want to consider have a fecal performed just to double check for parasites... as a precautionary measure.

    As long as you are providing the correct temps, then you should be good.

    if it seems happy and healthy just keep going with what works. you may try a small rat though, a large mouse seems way to small, i have a 2 year/30inch male thats eating a small rat,approx 80g; every week.

    ***from how you are describing it, it also sounds like you may have a male. have you had it sexed before?
