Hey all, I'm back here once again with another inquiry for you fine folk. I doubt any of you remember me, as I've only posted once before when i got my Cali king.
Anyway, I've had him since december, I bought him as a hatchling. He has shed twice since I've had him. So that's actually my first question while it's on my mind, is it normal that he's only shed twice in that time? I thought that him being a baby, he'd be shedding monthly(ish).
My main question is about feeding though. Right now he's on a steady feeding schedule of one (pre-killed) pinky mouse every friday. Lately though, it seems to me that he may still be hungry after only one. When I first got him, he'd take around 10 minutes to eat it, and he's got it down to an art now. From the time he decides it's dead (even though it already is, lol) to the time he's done with it, he's done in like 3-5 minutes now.
He just inhales the thing, I swear. But anyway, I was just wondering if it would be wise to offer him a second mouse. If so, should I do it right after, or split it into 2 feedings a week? I like to handle him too, so I don't really want to feed him twice a week, as I know he needs a day or two to digest, and I wouldn't get to handle him much in that case.
Any input is appreciated, thanks guys!
