Ok maybe shouldn't have titled that what I did, sounds like I am starving my snakes, I'm not don't worry lol.
But when I bought my Normal, the previous owner wasn't sure how long since she had been fed, he couldn't remember.
Just wondering if she will be OK until Saturday (The other snakes feeding day0 until she is fed, as she is settling in and stuff?
She is 5foot+ not sure on weight but she's an early '08.

I think it will be roughly 3 weeks by the time she gets food.
I figured she would be OK but thought I best let her settled in further before feeding, don't want to risk regurging.
Thanks for reassuring me though.
