thanks for the welcomes peeps

I have been doing a lot of digging around and a lot of reading over the past few days
and just generally getting to grips with certain things
I have been keeping diaries for my two to keep track of things for comparison reasons

one thing thats been bugging me though is the size differnce between them
Scotch weighed in at 16 grams and is about 12-14 inches in length
Kellogg weighed in at 27 grams and is about 16-18 inches in length
now I was told by the pet shop they are both between 10 and 15 weeks old does this sound about right

all help appreciated muchly

I'm not normally into yellows either but when I saw him I just had to have him

I am looking forward to when they are both adults as the colours should be amazing

Dont worry about it too much Malcom, corns do grow at different rates....even if they are the same age and being fed on the same diet. As long as they are eating, putting on weight and healthy then it is all good !

What are you feeding them on?

There is a VERY ROUGH guide that you can follow to have some idea as to what your snake should be feeding on. This is the part that would be applicable to your Kellogg and Scotch:

Snake (4 – 15g) = 1 Pinkie (0.5 – 3g) - feed every 5 to 6 days
Snake (16 – 23g) = 2 pinkies (3 – 4g) - feed every 5 to 6 days
Snake (24 – 30g) = small fuzzy (3 – 6g) - feed every 6 to 7 days

It certainly sounds as though they could both move up to 2 pinkies every 5 days for a while and then Kellogg may even manage a small fuzzy, but I wouldnt jump to that immediately.

The guide for feeding is that the 'dinner's' girth is 1.5 times the size of the widest part of the snake's body girth, no bigger.

You can work out if they need to move up in size when there is no longer a bump once they have eaten their 'dinner'.

Hope this is of some help.

I have seen that rough guide Kellog and wondered if I should move them both up to 2 pinkies

the thing I am wary of is how I go about it
do I feed them the first one the wait a certain ammount of time before I do the second

as far as the BUMP is concerned after they eat the bump is visible but its only slightly bigger than the rest of the body and it moves down the body pretty quick

next feeding day is on friday so I might try them both on 2 and see how they get on

When I have do multiple feeds I feed the 1st mouse then wait until the snake has worked it down so the bump is almost half-way down its body and then I offer the 2nd mouse. I just feel that it is best for them to get their 1st meal settled before starting on their 2nd....but I have only done multiple feeds with my present snake and therefore can only talk from my personal experience and opinion. I would THINK that others with more experience would agree with me though.

Let us know feeding goes on Friday.

I have done the same with Steve, wait until the snakes are moving around again once they have eaten the first then see if they want the second one.
