The results were the snakes fed on small items twice weekly were smallest.
Then the normal feeders. Then normal feeds + vitamins. Then large items. |

I just posted a couple of snake bytes vids over in another thread that are sorta relevant..

Based on what I know from sports nutrition..
I'm presuming that they are underweight because they weren't fed often enough.
You want to get them stabilized on a more normal maintenance schedule. Even a maintenance schedule should have them putting on weight and you want don't want to overload the system. They are small you want to feed them small (as wide as their widest point)till they are eating regularly then start feeding them bigger meals. I'd also recommend adding vitamins. You can see from the linked vids that they make a difference even in healthy animals and if yours are underweight then they're malnourished and you don't want to trigger a growth spurt till you fix that so you can avoid deficiency related disease.
Do they handle well? they will need lots of exercise to make sure the extra weight they put on is muscle rather then fat. Gently at first, frequent short sessions to avoid exhaustion.
