yeah but you noted you were feeding her 2 FUZZIES, and now your feeding her 2 HOPPERS- thats a good leap in food intake. If your moving her up to hoppers- which is a good thing, especially if she hardly shows much bulge after eating 2 fuzzies, I would try only offering her 1 hopper for 4-5 feedings - she only needs to eat once a week and she will grow fine- at least in my experience. After 4-5 feedings, you can try to move up to 2 hoppers, but I have found its never a bad thing to go slowly when moving a snake to larger food items. I had my s. pine regurge 4 hoppers after she ate 5 with piggish relish, so I only offered her 3 next time, well she regurged 2 (the snake room always smells so WONDERFUL after a snake regurges.. bleahhhhh!!!!)and after waiting, I only offered her 1 and all was well- cept she sure seems hungry- well thats just T.S until she gets her eating patterns settled down under my care.
