Re: Slowly moving to f/t

Feed your snake depending on its build. Not if you think it is hungry or not. If your snake is looking slim feed it a bit more other wise 1 mouse every 7 days is fine. I feed my corn snake 1 small rat every 14 days but if I was to offer him more he would eat it in a heart beat. Weigh your snake and track its weight if you are worried.

The snake is definitely not overfed and at its widest point is a little larger than the mice I feed him, but IMHO still too small for a rat. During my previous unsuccessful attempts at f/t I know that the snake can become somewhat aggressive when not being fed regularly, and I have observed that behavior again.
