Hi all, my butter is about 9 - 10 months old and 26 inches roughly , not sure on weight as need new scales, I feed him a small or med mouse every five days which he happily devours every time. I was just wondering if you think i might be over feeding him or is this about right. thanks

its difficult to say without actually seeing any pics of your snake, hazarding a guess you could probably feed every 7 days instead of 5

I have two 11 month olds. They are really piling on the grams so I moved back down from medium mice to small mice as I did not want them to get overweight. One who is just over 2ft seems better on small miceand his weight gain is more steady. However the 2nd one, who is over 2 and 1/2ft stopped gaining weight so I have moved him back to mediums this week. I feed every 7 days though.

My corn is about 10 months old also. I feed it a rat pup every 5 days. I think while they are still growing, most of it goes into growth rather than them getting fat. As long as you give them plenty of exercise. Kaa likes to climb up the stairs lol.
