I have been feeding tango 2 fluffs for the past couple of months, hes a really good eater and usually always eats 2 every 7/8 days depending on shedding dates etc...
I just want to know when i should move him to smalls and if this is normal feeding for a snake.

I'd say he's probably ready to take a small if he's been taking 2 fluffs for a while :)

general rule is if theres no visable bumb after feeding and prey size should be no more than 1.5 times the widest part of the snakes body. If he's been on fluffs for a while i would have thought he be ok on a small.

one a week will be fine, you could always ask the shop for 'small' smalls to start with, if you are worried. moving up tends to be more of a worry for us than them!
