i feed karma every friday and i give her a large adult mouse and it takes her 7 mins to eat and she poo's every thursday just before her feed on friday. i handle her 3 times a week for half hour a time. when she eats there is bump when she pushes it down her body, does this mean i need to upgrade food? |

If there is no visible bump after chowing down on medium mousey, then I would say it is time to move up to a large mouse. Although I am sure someone will disagree with me :P |

Hey, if I buy frozen food from my pet store does it make a difference if they defrost while you are coming home if you then get home and put them in the freezer? |

most users on here change food size when theres no obvious bump left by the food item
i used to give one pinkie, then moved it up to one normal sized pinkie and one slightly smaller one, and then 2 larger pinkies before giving one fuzzy - i did then mix between one fuzzy and then 2 pinkies (if i had any left that is!) |

Your snake must be completely tame.That's quite alot of play time.I have to balance it out bewteen 3 snakey's.

I tried Izzy out on 2 small fuzzies (the larger ones seemed too big) and she slept for 3 days! Tried the larger ones out at the weekend and they turned out to be the perfect size. She's had a 2 day sleep/rest and is now nice and active again. |

at that size i'd feed one medium once a week, or one large every 10 days, or one extra large every 2 weeks
edit: if you go with the large or x-large keep an eye out so the snake doesn't get porky |
