So, I got a new ball and today was the first time I fed it. Since the store I went too only had frozen and the previous owner said he fed it both I went ahead and got a small frozen rat. I thawed/warmed and just dropped it in. He took it no hesitation (I skipped a feeding since I got him 2 days before the regular scheduled feeding and I didn't want him to not eat). I got a small rat (roughly 4 to 5 weeks old I am guessing), he ate it fairly quickly then started sniffing at me looking around pretty openly. Is that a sign he's hungry or needs a bigger rat?
So, medium rat next time? He is an adult around 4ft long if that helps. Are snakes like other reptiles where they will eat till they bust or can you trust them to know they've had enough? The previous owner was feeding once a week so I plan on sticking with that schedule for now.
