Hi, We recently got our first pet snake, childrens python. We've had him for a few months now. They had him for about 3 years and got him from RSPCA as a juvi and they told us they power fed him at the beginning. When we got him they were feeding him once a week. When we went to our local store to buy him food we were told he was overweight and overfed due to the big tail difference with the skinny bit. We were told to feed him push his feeds out to once a month on mice. We have got to every 3 weeks and last few days since last feed he's becoming aggressive or anxious.
Any help and what we should be feeding him will be great please. So much mixed info and would love to know how to make him happy again. He's normally a very placid, docile snake. Please no judgement, as we've just tried to do what we were told and do whats best for him. There is another hide under the heat lamp side which he normally stays in and temp is generally about 29 - 30' degree in this cold weather on a timer. His enclosure is 600 x 900 x 400.
We will be giving him another mice tonight, I read somewhere 60 to 70g and hubby just weighed 3 in the pack and they were 60g combined. Seems we've been starving the poor thing.
Thank you
