Maybe stupid question but have to ask

[carmen]

How do i know when to increase the food size? My Childreni is nearly 4 months only, about 35cm long and as think as my little finger. She is currently eating pinky mice, how do i know when to put her onto fuzzies or if she needs more than the 1 pinkie? I am new to snakes with Mocha being my first so not sure with this. also, when can i expect her to shed? how often do they shed at this young age?

thanks everyone in advance for your answers and hopefully i dont come across as a complete looser!! hehehe

i always judge mine by the lump in their belly....if they have a noticable lump after their meal then no need to upsize....once they get to where you cant notice they have eaten then up their food a little......thats what i do

oh, i thought maybe that was it. I wasn't sure. She eats a pinkie and 2 minutes later looks like she has not eaten anything so maybe it's time to go to fuzzies. Thanks for your reply!

try her on 2 pinkies for a couple of weeks and then go onto fuzzies
