Ok, so just another feeding question here?? I've read sooooo many threads on feeding till my eyes hurt! We have a male and a female Murray Darling Carpet Python, both of them are two years old. Was feeding them once a week, but we feel that they are growing very fast, and starting to look a tad tubby? What are peoples' ideas on a feeding regime for 2yr old Pythons. Should we cut back to once a fortnight now?? Would like ideas from "more" experienced keepers if possible thanks. Cheers Cheryl

S.A. | | | | Ok MrBredli, you've been on here for quite a while, so will take your recommendation in hand, and leave em for another 7 days now before feeding. (Its 7 days since last feed). I reckon they are getting too big, too fast in my book. Boof(m) is coming up for shed anyway, so I guess he won't eat. But then he's a guts, little bugga! Cheers and thanks Cheryl
