I am wondering what is normal for a checkered that is at his and her first spring......My albino male will take a fuzzy mouse no problem and then my green lady spits them out like they are too big for her.... Both of my snakes are about 20 inches long and should have no problems with eating something that big. He has always been a great eater and if I am just doin pinkies will eat about two to three every day. (if I let him) Until very recently she was eating only two every four days, and since He bred with her hs increased her eating to three to four every day........ Is eating habits like this normal? Will they eat if they are not hungry? I do not want to ever feed them but every night she is out looking for food like she is really really hungry.
