How Soon Can I Feed Again?

I fed my hatchling Jag Carpet a rat pup yesterday morning. It was too small I guess because I don't see a lump today and he was sitting out in feeding position. Next time Ill feed him two until I get larger ones at the reptile show this month.

How soon can I feed him again?

I was thinking three days, but I don't want to rush for no reason.

either way, it will be fine as long as its eating. im not reccomending staying with this food size but it shouldnt hurt it to wait a few days to offer more.

I'll definitely up the size. He's going to have to edit two weeks. I buy in bulk at the reptile shows.

I would wait a week then give him another go. A weened rat pup should put a decent lump in there. Having a small meal this week is like you only having a snack for lunch. He will be fine. Also that stance is very common for young morelia and not nessesarily a sign of hunger.
