I have an adult female Nelson and I have been feeding her one f/t rat fuzzy every week. The rat is the size of an adult mouse. I have not tried feeding her two yet. Can anyone recommend the diet for an adult and what they feed their milk? Snakes for any help.

considering the size of the food item,i might suggest feeding one still,but slightly increase the frequency-every 4-5 days rather than every 7 days...i just prefer increasing how often they are fed,more so than increasing meal size too much-i.e. go with frequent small meals instead of larger,less frequent meals...milks are well known to regurgitate after eating too large a meal at one 'sitting'.

If you are not planning on breeding her, the schedule she is on now is fine. Snakes can get overweight in captivity. A once-a-week feeding of a moderately-sized food item is fine.
