A few months down the line, and things are going pretty well with Jempi. He eats pretty much everything I serve him - baby rates, mice, frozen/thawed or live, it doesn't make any difference. He eats it all.
I have been feeding him on a more or less regular schedule, every 7-10 days. Earlier this week though I had a conversation with one of the guys who runs Urban Jungle, and asked his opinion on how often and how much I should feed my snake. The guy has been in the business for 22 years so he must have some experience, and he recommended to feed up to four times a week at this point, to really boost the snake's growth. Once it hits the thousand grammes mark I should start to be more careful to make sure it doesn't get overweight, but until then I shouldn't worry about overfeeding.
Will take his advice and start feeding more often, he should grow faster than he does. I bought the snake in July and it hasn't shed its skin once, and that doesn't seem right.
