I gave my BRS a frozen "Fuzzy" as recommended by the local pet store owner who noticed all of the pinkies that I was buying. It looked huge, but I gave it to her anyway. She snuck one more pinky on top of that while I was uploading pics from my camera a few feet away. I had no idea that she would eat again after the first offering. It seems like a lot of people have snakes that wont eat.
Anyway here is a pic of her going at it. I still can only put one up at a time, the others from the sequence are in my photo album here on kingsnake.com.
Should I give her the rest of the pinkies until she won't take anymore? I dont even know if it was a mouse or a rat, and neither did the person at the pet store. I would rather her eat 4 or 5 pinkies than to do that again. (unless it is ok to look like that afterwards)

here she looks like she is in control

the lump looks huge to me!!

she was ok enough to slip over to the other end of the table, slide under a paper towl and snag another much smaller pinky. I think she wanted more because she was very agitated when I put her back in her enclosure.

Don't give her more than two of those, especially at first if she is just settling in. Duffy

She only got one of those, the other was a much smaller mouse pinky. Should I have given her another big one? or more smaller ones.

Thanks for replying, it eases my mind.

The important thing is she's eating. If you feed her one prey item that makes that big a lump, she really doesn't need another. Give her one or two more in a week. Duffy
