    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" females

    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?
