Yeah, I concur....too much food too quickly...no need to power feed these guys...atrox will get planty big plenty fast by simply feeding them reasonably.

If the snakes are only 2 months old, a fuzzie every week or so should be sufficient to ensure proper growth...

New snakes should always be given a "settling in period"...this allows them to become comfortable in their new environment...transport & a new environment is stressful enough...

As far as the snake that gurged, offer him a small prey item (i.e. a pinkie) in about a week...do so again in another week...then try offering him a fuzzie every week thereafter...
