My roughie didn't eat for a few weeks, and then my rodent supplier was two weeks late delivering so he hasn't eaten in almost two months. He's really ravenous now, eaten two but still hungry. The rats the guy gave me today are noticeably smaller than usual though. I think he could definitely handle another one, but should I continue to feed until he's not acting hungry anymore? Or should I leave it at three, see if he acts hungry tomorrow and feed again then, or just leave until next week?

Thanks in advance :)
 
+1 Swampie. It's bad practice to feed snakes until they can't eat any more. Like dogs - too much and they'll likely vomit it all up on the carpet.
