Re: Am I overfeeding him?
I just realize that I have no idea how widely metabolic rates in snakes can differ
my Sammy got obese on less than that
her cage mates do fine on one fuzzy per week
these are 2.5 year old ca 26" femalesrhea

He think it's a male doesn't seem fat nice and thick looking so I don't know I'll post a picture of him later so you can determine from that.

Hi Michelle. A photograph would certainly help us to judge whether or not you're overfeeding him. Can you post one or two?
