Yep me again....
How often do you fed??? Tabs looks for food 5 days after a fed, (temps all good 36g on fluffs) Mo on the other hand hardly ever looks. I have moved him to feeds every 2 weeks but I have to leave it in his viv over night before he eats it. (he temp all good 54g on fluffs) not worried about him at the min.

Should I fed Tabs when shes looking or make her wait a week, (Don't think so is big enough to move to smalls yet (Unless I'm been stupid and there is a size between fluff and small)

Any input gratefully received, thanks for your support guys

dont feed on demand. Corns are opportunists and will eat and eat if you let them. Which of course will lead to all kinds of health problems ie If they cannot digest properly, or they are overweight, overfed etc... all this an cause internal damage to the snake.
