Hi my Tangerine milk snake is growing realy fast, when we got him two weeks ago he was 1.5 ft in lenght (approx) and he has grown a extra ft in lenght since i got him.The reason for this question is when i feed him with a fuzzy mouse the next day after i feed him he is looking for food again he is all over tank wich normally means he is hungery.Iam not quite sure what to do? should i feed him a fuzzy mouse twice a week or should i move up in the size of the mouse?

if his size allows you are best moving up to the next size of prey, best way to determine this, does the food leave a noticeable bump in his tummy, if not he may well be ready fr the next size up.

You know what it is he takes the mouse and drags under the bedding and you don't see him swallow his dinner.But we check the tank and the mouse has compleatly gone.The mose he ate on monday he was back out on the hunt all day Tuseday.
