A friend of mine came over a couple weeks ago and told me that I was under feeding my snakes. He said to move them all up a size. I was out of bigger rats last week, but I had three pinkies that I didnt want to waste. I have a 100 gram bumble bee he said should be on pups, but i didn't want to waste the pinkies that I had in the freezer. So last week I warmed up the three pinkies and fed them to her one at a time about every 20 min shed take another one. I fed her all three and she took all three with no hesitation. This week when I went to feed her the pinkies again she attacked without hesitation twice, but didn't eat either time. My question is could I have injured her by feeding three consecutively like that or is she more than likely just still full from last week? Is there anything I should look out for?

You most likely didn't injure her. I have a snake that eats 3 mice in a row, or she'll take down 2 pups and 2 mice. Just depends on what I have. She eats like that every week. It's possible she just didn't want it.

For what it's worth, I agree with your friend.
