I recently moved my snake up to a fuzzy because she was eating 3 pinkes even 4 if offered. So last week i gave her her firt fluff but she was still lookin for more and went on to eat 3 MORE pinkies any idea as to how much i should feed her .

(just an after thought the fluff left an obvious bulge)

as a guide, the size of the mouse should be no wider than 1.5 times the width of the snake at it's widest point (ie. not its head)

how big is the snake?
cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos

i'd feed her a couple of fuzzies then move up to small mice in a couple of months, it's very easy to overfeed corns
