The question is in the title! Anyone have any ways of knowing if their snake is getting a rumbling tum?
How can you tell if a snake is hungry?

They should be able to take 2-3 fuzzies no prob then. Was looking at my Jungle, she's a lil bigger than estimated too, probably bout 18 inches...

So hopefully in a few years, you'll be able to breed some nice babies assuming you have opposites. Don't know bout UK, but Butters are hard to come by here right now, and expensive when can get them...

Thats awfully nice of Nigel to pick you up a Butter Motley. Good to have friends like that...
As for my two there, the Everglades already has Yellow rat blood in it and a Bubblegum is a threeway cross between a Yellow, Everglades and Albino Black rat, so I will more than likely just end up with more Bubblegums as close as we can figure... I'm hoping they survive. Its the first time they bred and it was unexpected. They been living together for the last 5 years and are 7 and 8 years old. Will be interesting to see what hatches anyway...

The pinkies are pretty much the size he needs though going by girth, but I might give him an extra pinkie if he seems particularly hungry after his feed. He might have been extra-hungry because his feeding was a few days late with the setting down period (though I don't think he needed it now). I'll see how he is after the next few feeds, if he still seems hungry I'll give him an extra pinkie.beckys_dad98 said:Glad your snake is doing well SilverShark, but if it is still looking for food after three pinkies, you might want to try considering moving up to fuzzies. They are the next size up from pinkies and even though you might not think that Silver will be able to get them down, don't worry she will... At this age feeding a lil bit more is not going to hurt as they put it all into growth anyhow. I have a 6 month old Jungle Cornsnake that is getting 3-4 fuzzies each week and she's only about 16 inches also...
