| Glad he's eaten for you :) I usually give single pinks 5 days apart, double pinks 6 days apart and fuzzies 7 days apart. I wouldn't offer him anything else today, just be happy he has had 1 pink in his new home ;) Then after 6 days I would continue on 2 pinks as that is what he has been on up to now. |

Glad he ate for you  When you next feed him wait until the first pinkie is half way down then offer the second. Sounds like he'll settle in quickly and be a good feeder for you  |

Haha, he fooled you.....snakes are opportunist feeders and most always look for more! 
Seriously, I'm glad he ate for you. Don't forget to leave him 48 hours to digest his mice. Don't want him to regurge.

| Glad he fed for you I feed my snakes 2 pinkies every5-7 days, normally every 5. I don't go onto feeding every 7 days until they are on at least fluffs. But that is just a personal choice, and is sometimes dictated by the snakes themselves |

Have a look on eBay, loads of cheap ones on there. I only use exo terra digital thermometers for the hot end as they are more accurate |

| Have you tried changing the battery? I had this with one of my thermometers, turned out the battery was low and made the numbers come and go. failing that, you can get them for a few quid on eBay |
