Ok, this past weekend at the local herp show we purchased a Columbian Red Tail (yes, I know that's not a true red-tail). We learned from the breeder that she was being fed f/t hoppers and was last fed on 2/14. We tried to feed her before (got her on 2/20) but she wouldn't eat. Ate 4 f/t fuzzies tonight and seems like she wants more. My question is how much and how often is it advised to feed a female baby Columbian that currently weighs in at 107 grams and is around 2' long. We want to keep her well fed but don't want her to become obese. We would probably figure it out over time but hearing from everyone here who has experience would be better for her. Thanks so much!
