Re: new snake owner w/ LOTS o' questions

1) Depends on the size of the mice given. For the age of the snakes, 10 to 15% of the body weight every 5-7 days it's ok.

2) Yes, on feeding mode they are brave creatures lol. They'll try to eat a lot, but as long as they eat the correct rations, you shouldn't feed more items. You don't want to overfeed.

3) I use paper towels and put the mice there. Sometimes they grab the mouse and drag it all around, but if you have your temps ok, they'll be able to digest some aspen without complications.

4) Feed in their tank. Don't stress both you and the snakes.

5) if the heating pad is located in one of the sides and provides enough basking heat and you dont have problem giving proper 'ambient' temperature, it should be ok. Remember to ALWAYS use a termostat for the heat pad.

Good luck! Keep us posted
