I am lucky enough to have two gravid females. They still are very aggresive eaters and I am wondering if I should offer smaller meals. They both should lay mid May and they take down two rat pups a week. I have read that I should reduce the meal size and I also read that a gravid snake wont take a meal that is too large for them while gravid. Any thoughts? Thanks, Scott.
