My snake Queen ( born in 08, 60 g ) took a bit longer than usual to shed. Therefore she hasn't eaten for about 2 weeks. Yesterday she had a small meal ( Fuzzie 6 g, usually she gets 8-9 g fuzzies ) . This afternoon after only 30 hours she had a big poo. Before I have never seen her digesting so fast ! Now she is running around and seems to be looking for food. In this case is it OK to feed her only 3-4 days after she had her last mouse or shall I wait the usual 6-7 days ?

In 3 weeks time I need to leave her without food for about 2 weeks so I thought it might be good if she can put on a bit of reserve now. What do you think ?
