Slap-Feeding Method of Tease Feeding

The Munson Plan is a great starting point. It's a little aggressive- so if you just let your snake get 5-10 grams heavier than the chart suggests before taking the next step, and start with the lowest prey weight in the range for that size, it works well. And make sure you weigh the pics; every feeder company has a different range for the sizes, and some companies have wider ranges, too. I weigh them out, match them up to Munson Plan weights, and go from there.
 
I wish that would work for my non feeder, but she's afraid of everything. I finally got my thermostat on Friday and waited til last night to feed her in her deli cup in the viv under her hide. The digital thermometer said 91 this morning, so I turned the thermostat down to 83, it was set at 85 but apparently isn't accurate, or else my thermostat isn't accurate. So frustrating trying to get everything right.:headbang:

I know what that is like! My thermostat is set at 88 and it's going up to 91, but I felt the aspen and it's cold! I'm sorry I couldn't help, and I really do hope she feeds

There's an old saying around here-

Your hand is not a thermometer!
