Ara was on one pinky and after our first successful feed with him (he's CB11) I put him straight up to two..which he eats in record time and they're barely visible so once I'm out of pinkies he'll be up to fluffs.
Ginn was kept on a single pinkie for 7 months according to her sheets, she's now on smalls (small smalls I should add) and is a dustbin like most kingsnakes.
gonzo is on one pinkie every 4/5 days and there is no visable lump, so does that mean i should feed him two? the women said he is 4-5 months old and he is just over 30cm i havent weighed him yet as only got him on friday! |

i think that for smalls the normal practice is every 7 days, same for double fluff feeds. as far as i am aware single fluffs are every 6-7 days. x |

Yes as georgina said pet dhops feed less as they will allso have less room for acomodation nooooo she is not power fed i no all the risks lol however i dont feed every 6 she last ate on saterday night so her next feed shall be on friday morning ish she poops and digests fine usally within 48 hours she may do a little one on the third day:) However i carry on my feeding schedule at all times even when blue as i no some of you dont do this and wait untill shed, however i have had no problems with this without any regurges so shall continue 2. shes shed the same date every month so far minuse the last one so she may be slowing down a little or readjusting to the bigger prey. |

dont worry primrose linguini is perfectly fine. this snake is just big for its age, the difference may be dramoatic as linguini may be smale for his age. in comparison this is the size of 18MONTH - 2 YEAR OLD snake.
pet shops keep snakes on smaller meals purposly to keep them small and cute.
people are more likley to buy a small cute snake than a big scary one, min were yearlings when i got them and they were still on weekly pinkies x |

omg. Linguini was born in September 2011 so that means he's about 8 months old this month, and he is NOTHING but NOTHING like this big. He's literally like a piece of spaghetti, hence the name! Seriously concerned now that P@H were under feeding him. |

my main concern would be power feeding for those smaller snakes who take bigger feeds. Not saying thats what you guys do.. just that alot of the smaller snakes that are taking substantially bigger feeds for their age are power fed. To make them bigger sooner. Which can cause internal problems and obesity as an adult.
Again Im not saying you guys are. Just voicing my concerns xxx |

Wow she must be twice the size of Corno (8 months)!
You are only feeding weekly aren't you, not every 5 days? |
