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.

Re: How Soon Can I Feed Again?
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.

Re: How Soon Can I Feed Again?
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.
