How do I know how much to feed my BP?

I'm concerned I may not be feeding my BP enough. I have only had her for a few weeks. She is about 17 inches long. I fed her a live hopper mouse last Tuesday and a F/T hopper mouse on Monday of this week. She swollowed it very quickly and looked like she was waiting for more.



How do I know if she has had enough? Also, she hasn't defecated since the first feeding. Should I be concerned? How long does it take to digest their meal?



Thanks,

Nick
