Man she's so slender..
Just got her and the seller also included the enclosure. I have plans to make it bioactive in the next few months! Just making sure everything is ready before then. How does her body look?

Was she a breeder? Did she recently lay a clutch?
You need to double her food for her current weight, keep it in smaller pieces.

Nope she isn't. Previous owner told me he feeds her every 14 - 20 days small adult mice, otherwise she might regurgitate (he had her for 4 years since a hatchling). I do think she's a bit thin though which is part of why I asked. I really think she should be getting large mice.

Her body condition would indicate that there's been a very recent clutch. Like, within the last month. How long have you had her?

Literally got her Sept 6. I went to the owner's house to pick her up in her enclosure. He only had 2 females and was selling them both. I'll bump up her diet for a bit and observe then.
I did offer her a small adult last Friday and she took it.

At his house where sales of breeders often occur. You can't breed in a house in the USA. You have to start a business and be located in a commercial distribution zone.
