So, my little Florida king Kage is around 3 months old by this stage, and she's doing great, one complete shed with no issues and never refuses a feed. The last couple of feeds I've moved her up to fuzzies, and she seems a lot more interested in them than the pinks, striking and constricting etc. She does take a good 5-10 mins to get one down, but afterwards she seems to search for another one. I'm feeding her once every 5 days.

Will one do her ok? Or should I try her with a second? There's no way she'd manage a larger mouse.

I'll stick with one, once a week, cheers for the help! You reckon I should stick on the fuzz? She noms them down happy enough like.

After my kings first mouse, he always wants more... same with most of my corns as well although they don't act up as much as the king :p I'd keep with one, two are only normally fed for when preparing for the next size up.

I would be feeding her every 7 days. I think kings in general just keep searching for food after they eat unlike my corns who hide away after eating. I would think 2 fuzzies might be too much for a 3 month old snake as my 6 month old hypo greyband is still on 2 large pinkies a week but I do plan to move onto 1 fuzzy a week very shortly.
