How many fuzzy's?

Hi
My Indi is now on to fuzzies, the pinkies weren't enough, weren't even giving him a blip in his tum tum. And he was out everyday looking for more. So I started him on fuzzies last week and he is more satisfied now and stays hidden for 48hours after, more content. But he still seems to think he should feed on them every 4-5days. They are small fuzzies, and make a little bulge in him but nothing major. Is it ok to feed him that often or should I feed him once a week. He is doing great. Hes almost 4 mths old now and must be at least 18in. Hes shedding 2-3 weeks.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Maria:D

growing like a weed by the sounds of it!

i`ve always had Chione on a less than intense feeding routine, feeding suitable sized items every 7-10 days. She seems content with this, as she always has been.
Having said that, she isn`t all that big and only sheds every 2 or 3 months, but that isn`t a result of my underfeeding her - its her own genetics.. when i tried to feed her more often she wasn`t interested.
I guess the thing is to see how often your snake will eat, for a 4 month old corn , i dont think a 5 day feeding schedule would cause any harm provided the snake eats well and keeps the food down and has fully digested and passed the meal before you offer more food.

Thanks, ya hes so active and really actually comes out knocking on the viv glass when the 4th day is up, he eats as soon as he is put beside a mouse! He never regurges or anything. So I guess I will give him one every 5 like I have been doing. Just don't want to over feed.
Thanks again.

Isn't he gorgeous!

Here's a pic of a 'good' sized meal.

And I wouldn't count on that snake being male. It's tough to tell where the vent is located but my guess would be female.

I'm terrible at guessing sex from pics, so I won't even try, but great looking snake, and certainly growing fast!
