So Arco is now 600grammes and approximately 4 and a half foot. We feed her every 10days and she is on rat weaners. Are we feeding too frequently or is this ok? We just don't want to overfeed her! Thanks in advance x
Hi Dee! She looks good! Generally, you should feed a prey item as thick around as the snake at its widest point, maybe *slightly* larger. Once every ten days is fine, though you might even go back to weekly -- she's still got a lot of weight to put on! (Fullgrown adult females can hit the 2200-2500 gram range.)

The food she's on now is a little bigger than her widest point just didn't want to be 'over feeding' her! That sounds good tho! We seem to be doing it right then! Thanks again for the invaluable advice Cliff! :)
