4 or 5? Really? No wonder my guy is still thin? Would this be just to fatten him up or a normal diet for a mid sized male?

Sorry Beaniesmommy, just had to add to your questions! lol I thought I had all of this figured out, but maybe not! Btw I started with a little guy that my kids brought home and have had him for 6 years now. You'll get the hang of it!

4 or 5 is the "Fattening diet." However, I'd think that feeding the snake 4 or 5 at 2 day intervals is better; a little bit of food often is better than a lot of food rarely. A fuzzy a week is good for a male that size, possibly with a small treat halfway through the feeding week.
