First if she is 15"inches you need to bump up the size of the mice to fuzzy or hopper size. Give her the largest mouse she can eat.

Also feed her as much as she wants. She is growing. So you don't have to worry about ovefeeding. The more she eats, grows, the stronger and healthier a captive she will be.

The only problem I see with 15" Cal king that wre purchased from an unkown source (not breeder direct) is, HOW OLD is she?

What happens with cal kings and other colubrids being fed 1x per week on pinkies or even larger mice when the snake gets bigger- is the snake becomes unhealthy and finicky. This results in a snake that will not eat like a normal healthy snake because it has been malnutritioned for a long p<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
