Just weighed and measured Kei, weighed in at 243g and measured 20"
Thats a gain of 62g in just 8 days and in that time she has emptied herself 3 times,

Good luck converting to rats mate.

It is highly improbable that the amount of gain is the snake physically. More than likely water and food intake sitting in the gut.

Care not to power feed. 3 prey items is a bit much stick to two max but combined they should be no more than 10-15% of the snakes body weight.

At least she has a good appetite

Because she's so small for her age, I started feeding her every 5 days, but on her last feed she took 3 medium mice as she was still prowling afterwards, she's still to be transitioned over to rats as her previous owner was wanting to keep her on mice.

That's some going. Did she eat more than once in those 8 days? How heavy were the rats she fed on?
