Hey everyone. My Murray Darling is about 2 feet long. Im feeding her on weanlings every seven days. She's easily digesting it within two days. She also took the mouse tail first the other day and ended up swallowing it sideways. Im hoping she's not mentally challenged.LOL. Are the weanlings appropriate or does she need adult mice? Im starting to wonder as iv'e noticed her wait ing in ambush at night time in between feeds and wasnt sure if they only displayed this behaviour when they were hungry.
Thanks everyone.

if she ate it sideways she can go up to a larger feed, you want somethign every 10-14 days that leaves a reasonable lump
but i have a 90 cm MD which getts 2 adult mice fornightly, they love to eat these MDs
