I posted a message on her a about a week ago about my snakes not growing and not sheding. I was told that I was not feeding them enough and when i asked how much to feed I go no answer. I just got my first frozen mice today, hoppers for the larger one and fuzzies for the smaller, and before there were eating live fuzzies. They ate them fine after a little work but since I was no feeding enough I was wondering how offen should I feed them. Before I was feeding them every 5-7 days like I read and I tried feeding them 2 mice today and they would not take them. They are both babys got the first in march and other in may and I think that I am feeding the right size mice. If you can help please reply or email me, and if you need more info. on the problem you can email me too. Zombie_BL@msn.com

thanks for any help you can give me

In your question, you didn't mention the weight, age or length of your Bp. Anyways, you're definitely feeding him too little. A ball right out fo the egg can eat an adult mouse. Switch to rats, and feed every 5 days. Can't answer much more, considering you didn't post any pertinent information.

I agree with you, a meal every 5 days is really too much!
