Re: Overly aggressive feeders?

Now for a bit random question, how much is " too much " food. My male usually gets 3 pinkies a week (only took 2 this week) and the female 6 or 7 pinkies. She has no problem digesting this much food and is always ready for more the next week. She has eaten fuzzy rats and adult frozen mice without problems, I wouldn't be suprised if she could take down a small rat.. She is around 2.5 feet probably a little over but she never holds still for an actuall measurement and the male is around 2 feet. Does this sound like an appropriate diet?
Temps remain mid 80's F in the day, cooler with window/fan on probably a bit warmer against the plexiglass when the sun shines in. Hopeing to get them to breed (they have bonded very nicely).
You might want to feed her fuzzies or hoppers, it'd probably be cheaper and easier for you.
