Your snake looks fine. You probably aren't used to seeing it without food in it's body. Nothing sounds or looks abnormal .Every 5 days ay that size and age is too frequent to feed as well in my opinion.

She is almost 1 year. And last 2 month she ate every 7 days. Don't carpets grow until 4 years and should be feed every 5-7 days?

So you treated her "just in case" then?

I wouldn't be feeding a carpet of any age any more often than once a week.

I treated her bc death of coccidiosis among chicks is 90% and she ate a chicken with coccidia. I didn't want waiting until coccidia flood a snake and all her viv.

Thanks. I am going feed her once a week until she is 4 years.

I see. Well, it's certainly normal for a snake to fast, especially after treatment. I'm sure she is fine, Kazz.
