Re: Milk snake shedding problems

should b well off pinkies by now at 2 years old, he's missing allot of nutriant only eating pinkies, have you tried larger? how big is he?

get bigger mice and offer him one - after 2 years I'm amazed he's grown at all on just on pinkies, they lack proper bones (calcium) and their organs are under developed which means far fewer nutrients.

an adult snake (or even sub-adult) shouldnt be eating several times a week, they should have regular large meals and then be allowed to digest them and then wait for their next meal for upto 2 weeks
