interesting growth vrs feed

[nita]

I have started recording the eating/ shed/ weight info on my snakes and have noticed that they actually seem to put on a good gain when they slow down for a week! Demetae recently has been eating 2 mice a week and been doing really well but weight tappered off at 300 g for three weeks and she also dropped to 1 mouse a week, this week she refused to eat but her weight is up to 336g!! I wonder do they slow down for a week or so to digest and put more energy into growing? Anyone else notice this?
