Snickers had her first double meal today. 2 pinkies in 60 seconds. She's so fat! I feel badly about only feeding her one last week. Poor dear she must have been starving! I can't believe how fat she got! :D She keeps coming up to the glass when I go near. I want to hold her! This 48 hour stuff is for the birds.

:laugh: I know it's the poo, but a regurg is not fun for the snake at all (and you have to wait 10 days before offering food again), and dead puked up mice STINK and are covered in goo.

Best to wait. :)
 
Well sheesh if you're gonna put it that way... That visual just made it VERY easy for me to be hands off for a bit. Icky! :lol
 
Starving or greedy. Some snakes will look for more, but it doesn't mean it's best to give them more. If the meal is 1.5 times the size of the thickest part of their body, stick with 1. And if you have to feed more, it's best to feed 1 fuzzy and not 2 pinkies (if the pinks are small though you might have to wait until it reaches 3 pinks before offering 1 fuzzy). The larger mice have a higher nutritional value, and pinks also seem to be higher in either fats or fiber (not sure how it works) and they make your snake poop a lot more. Fuzzies = higher nutritional value, and less pooping. HOORAY FOR LESS POOPING (I had a very poopy snake LOL).

Her appetite is a very good thing though! Glad to hear that for sure!
