I'm only feeding once a week. I feed all my snakes on my off days from work so I can stay on a routine. As you can see from the pics, they aren't overweight at all. The females are the thicker ones and the males are still fairly thin in my mind. I JUST changed over to large mice for the females mainly because I am at a point in my freezer where I don't have any hopper mice, and the males are still eating fuzzy mice though. Their metabolism is unbelievable and I am cleaning out poop almost weekly, and they shed all the time. They are extremely active and all thrive in every way imaginable.

I weighed the largest female last night, and she hasn't eaten in about 8 days and she was 169 grams. My breeder male that is 7 years old is only 189 grams! My Breeder female was only 200 grams for the majority of her life, actually small for her age until the last few years, where she has finally beefed up a little. She's now 450 grams(She looks gravid though, so I don't know). The babies were dropped and were already larger than any baby sand boas I had ever seen, but didn't think much about it.

I don't know, I guess we will see where these huge babies go with time.
