Hello,
Fed CC today 1 small mouse and I assumed he/she'd be a little sluggish after eating but tonight I saw him/her after the light turned off for the night and he/she was quite active.
Is this normal? Or does it mean I need to feed him/her more?
Thank you.
Holly.

Yes fat with blobs of fat sticking out lol.Just google overweight cornsnakes and look. |

Oh absoultely they can get very fat very quick so we try to keep them on a strict diet :) |

I think he's just pushing his luck and being a piggy!
Is there any problem if you over feed them? (other than them getting fat...can they get obese?) |

I find this all the time in the summer, they just carry on as normal, in the winter when ambient temps are down though they go to the warm place and stay still for a few days (apart from Duke that just stops eating lol). |

Might still be hungry or hunting but if you're confident the food size was right then I wouldn't worry sometimes they just get greedy :) |
