As for "overfeeding" one would have to know the size of the snake & the size of the prey as well. In young speciemens once a week is probably appropriate depending on the prey size. For subadult or adult specimens 1 meal every 2-3 weeks would be fine if it were a larger meal. Frequency would depend on prey size. If older specimens are fed less often they are less likely to have a feeding response every time the enclosure is opened though. As for group housing it is not recommended of course (ask anyone that deals with snakes, even newbies) & yes the presence of a new one in the old ones enclosure can contribute to stressing both of them out yep. What is it about Zoos always wanting to group house animals anyway? Most all snakes are best off kept alone as they are solitary predators, not "herd" or "pack" animals. Mark
P.S. how long was the quarantine period? You have only been there 3 months right? A proper quarantine for a Zoo animal should be at least that or even longer I'm thinking.
