Hey, this is my boy Damian. He's roughly 8'6" and is as tame as they get. I'm wondering if I'm feeding him enough. He gets 3 or 4 ginneu pigs a month. Here's the pic.

Wow, looks great! I know the rule of thumb for any snake is usually feeding about every 7 days...i think that stretches as they get older though, but the food item should leave a slight bump in the snakes body, and then you will know its eaten enough

Good luck with the big guy, he looks stunning.

Loods good! I would reccomend 4 a month, maybe 5 if he is still a yonger one(below a year and a half). If the guinea pigs make a buldge, that is good. If he is older, then you are feeding him enough. Just make sure you can see a definetly defined bump in his body after a meal.

Thanks for everyones input. I've tried the bunny thing and he ate 2 but after that he wouldn't go for them any more. I think he's really picky on size and it becomes a real pain in the a$$ wasting all that money so I went with guinea pigs and that's going great. He eats every meal and always has a nice buldge when done. Only thing is, he is very active and is always on the prowl. Once again thanks.
