just need some quick advice, just fed my snake, she's still on small mice not really leaving much of a lump.. looked like she was still hungry as she was going towards my finger after she'd eaten the mouse, going to try moving up to medium but in the mean time should i give her another mouse?

Thanks Red. Was just wondering.

My smalls average at 12g and my mediums average at 22g so not much difference between two smalls and one medium.

well fed her 2 yesterday, everythings good so i'll move up to medium next week :)

Aren't two small move WAY bigger than a medium?

Like the sound of that :)

Lotabob speaks the truth. When i moved my first snake up from pinks to fuzzies for the first time i nearly had a heart attack lol.

Yep just go up as long as it doesn't exceed 1.5 times the thickness of the snake, and then look away as its always terrifying watching them eat a new sized meal for the first time.

If its not leaving much of a bump then I would just try her with a medium when she is next due a feed.
