My almost 8 month old Spotted Python "Diablo" is a great eater, I have him on Fuzzies which he gulps down and leaves very little to no lump. I tried to bump him up to a Hopper but he has trouble getting it down, he will try, and eventually he gets frustrated and he will drop it and walk away from it. Should I feed him 2 Fuzzies?

Sorry for the poor quality picture but it does give a clear picture of him and what his lump or lack of looks like just after eating 2 minutes ago.

Yep nothing wrong with 2 fuzzies! My Black Milk is doing 2 fuzzies at 86g.

LOL?

Anyway, I would agree and say stick with two fuzzies at feed time until he is big enough to handle a hopper comfortably. The whole trying to eat/regurg I imagine is stressful for the snake (I'm not sure if you meant regurg after it getting halfway down or if he just doesn't even attempt to consume it after his "strike and coil").

Thanks for your reply, he did NOT regurge, He did strike and coil and he tried to get his mouth around it and then just let it go as if he knew it was too big for him.
