Nag was fed 24 hours ago, she had one small mouse. This morning she came out of her hide and started looking around for. I was fiddling around with stuff on my desk (when her viv is) and she struck at my fingers, so one small mouse just isn't enough for her. So my question is, should I up he feeding to two smalls or move her to mediums? She is 155g at last weigh in (no change since last week) and 29 inches.

Yeah, I think I'll stick to smalls for the time being. She only had a fluff today to see how things go after the potential regurge 10 days ago.

here are a few pics from two of mine to give you an idea. Both are easy meals for the snakes:

As we've had a regurge, I'm going to hold off the mediums for a while.
But yeah, I think she could too.

I'm gonna say that she can take mediums without trying

This is the most recent one I have of her, the ruler is 15 inches long

I prefer a larger feed to feeding multiples. My female hypo greyband is around 180g and is on mediums. My kings don't hide away for long after feeding so don't fall for the "I'm out and about feed me" line. Just feed one item that is 1 - 1.5 times the width of your snakes widest part once a week.

I feed my 36" king one large mouse a week if that helps. He isn't fat and would happily, and has, taken two. I don't weigh mine until breeding time, and then it's only the females so unsure of his weight, check the pics in my thread and you can gauge his size from there.
Don't auto assume that an active king is hungry, they are glutenous buggers when they want to be and would happily gorge all day and night given the chance.
Pop a pic up showing his size relative to something we can all gauge from and I can give you a better idea.
