The guy who bred these snakes contacted me and he feels 2 fuzzies are way too much for these little guys to handle. I was feeding it to them because they ate it with no problem. Guess I'll slow it down. Especially since it is winter.

:those questions about two fuzzies being too much, and about the temperature drops really has got me wondering if you are caring for these guys correctly. If there is any doubt in your mind that you are, then don't try feeding them for at least another two weeks (so long as they are of good body weight and not exhibiting any other symptoms such as watery stooles, off colored feces, really bad smelling poops, nervous system symptoms such as jerking movements or difficulty keeping upright, etc...). Keep on supplying fresh water at all times. Over the next couple of days read up on their care in a good book about snakes. If you have been doing it all wrong, then correct your technique, if you have been doing it right - well as I said - get ye to a vet.
