You say, no way, but it's true. I had been feeding her two rat pups for several weeks. Last week I only fed her one weanling rat. Larger? yes, but only one. She watched and waited.....and waited......and waited for the second one to be served. And all week long she was mad and pouted. Yesterday when I was in the snake house she showed her discontent by striking at the glass everytime I got close. At feeding time last night I served her not one weanling rat but gave her a second one also. Now she is a completely different snake. Calm, fat and happy. And, I might add, growing so fast it's amazing. At this rate she'll eat me out of house and home.

Well, congratulations. I wonder if she counts how many grams her weight is going up after each feeding? Maybe she is watching her weight because someday she wants to hatch out some fat, healthy babies. Good luck.
