i fed my new royals the other day, when could i feed them again one of them seems skinny and i want to get her up to size. it was only a small mouse each they had i think they could easily manage the next size or even two of the same size. any opinions??

anyone shed any light for me??

If they are young i feed mine every 5 days with a mouse the same thickness as the biggest part of the snake. Feed the skinny one as normal, soon put the weight on, if not try rats they have more fat

Oh also if the mice are not as thick as the thickest part of snake, feed them two, thats what im doing at the min because i ordered too many and my snake has outgrown them.... greedy bugger looked like he would have taken 3, either that or he liked the look of my hand

cheers for the help mate.

im feeding my baby royal once every 5 days.. im pretty lucky too because he will strike at anything i put in front of him anytime

No problem... btw i lived in n-ireland for 2 years, heard of a place called kilkeel in county down?

yeh quite a bit away from me but i was down in newcastle a few weeks ago which is just around the corner. so do you reckon 3 days isnt enough between feeds??

This may be dumb ().

when people say feed the snake two - do they mean at once? Do you let the first one go down then offer the second one? Or do you wait until the next day?

Cheers and sorry for hijacking the thread.
