I was feeding mine a large mouse once a week, but she's a bit bigger, was wondering if someone could tell me if this is maybe too often? She takes it well each time, but I am concerned that she may be getting fat and a little lazy!

they dont usly constrict when young,you could try having a little tug of war with him as if they prey was putting up a fight and he will soon learn to constrict it.

once a week is fine,if you think she is getting podgy try letting her climb the stairs a few times,it's a great work out for them.
