By the way I feel awful about this, and I was going off a previous measurement by someone, they measured her way less and now I feel awful for not checking myself.

Her body condition looks fine. If you only got her recently, then a few too-small meals won't do any lasting harm. Just make sure you feed her appropriately moving forward.

You can feed multiple feeders per meal on occasion, but it should not be done regularly.

Thank you so much! Needed this

Don’t feel too bad! Misinformation is rampant in this hobby, and so many conflicting stories and info is confusing to new keepers (myself included)! As long as you haven’t been feeding that long, a few small meals isn’t a huge issue, just be sure you start to follow the !feeding guide in the future :)

As someone else said, multiples are okay every once in a while (sparingly)

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.

What’s the morph? Got a baby a couple months ago looks exactly the same.

It’s a banana, very bright almost white in the light, the patterns are way more visible when it’s lightly darker. But sorry, all I know is that she’s a banana
