I'm glad she's eaten too

I think what we were seeing there was the direct result of a regular feeding schedule without enough exercise, and there was such an excess of weight that she knew what she needed to do to get healthy. Of course, all my snakes get regular exercise (and many hours of it each week), but I just do use any sort of feeding schedule. I've always more closely mimicked how they would eat in the wild, and that makes a big difference and stuff like that wouldn't happen, lol.

Anyhow, I just hope she's back on-track now 'cause it was mildly worrying even though I trusted that she knew what she was doing. Hopefully she's balanced herself-out and won't be a worry anymore

That gets me wondering if my big BCC is not doing something similar. Mine are fed a regular feeding schedule, but through the winter months aren't getting that much exercise. She has recently begun to refuse f/t but will eat live. However, she's only eating 1 xlg rat when she could easily take down 3 jumbos.
