I don't think she's losing weight, per se... it's just that eating at the "maintenance" level she is, she's simply not able to re-gain the weight she lost over the last 2-3 years when she decided to go off feed. I'm not worried about breeding or making her "fat", I just want to get a few pounds back on her so she looks normal again. I have to assume that her current condition, while she seems ok, is not ideal and could be taxing her organs unnecessarily... if not, then I guess I'll quit worrying. She just doesn't look that great, spine is clearly visible and skin is quite folded when she undulates around the cage...

I'm thinking at this point that I may need to just find much larger prey items and go that route for 6 months or so....
