so i was just wondering weather my snake has had a big enough meal
i thought the snake would go into her warm hide after eating while she digests but shes moving around all over the tank still does this mean shes looking for more food and should i feed her if she wants fed or should i stick to scheduled feeds?

She could well still be hungry! Try 2 of whatever your'e feeding her (if she is a baby, then 2 pinkies) or if she is a bit bigger try the next size up.

how big is she? as a guide the maximum sized prey item should be no more than 1.5 times the width of your snake's body at its widest point.
as you've not had her long how often was she being fed by the previous owner and on what sized prey item?

well the guy in the petshop says she is on (and nearly due) one pinkie but the main thing im thinking is if i offer her 2 will she eat them both even if she only needs one (out of greed) Dont want her getting fat

How often is she being fed ATM? if you are worried about feeding her 2 leave it a little longer between feeds, though I should think a fast growing baby won't get fat.
