As was said, feed her more. I would likely go with grown mice or baby rats for a three foot king. I wouldn't jump to two bigger mice...just try one bigger mouse and see how it goes. If she is looking again the next day try two. This time of year is prime growth time so she is hungry. They get cranky when they are hungry.



>>DMong those are some great-looking snakes!

>>I feed her two hopper mice every week, she's about 3 feet long now. I will try and feed her more, but I'll have to spread the feedings out. I'm not sure she can eat 3 mice in one sitting.
>>
>>I have noticed that she gets quite active towards the second half of the week, nose-rubbing and such. Maybe this means she is hungry.
