    Could she eat a fuzzy?

    I kinda blanked out and bought 3 fuzzies instead of pinkies for her meal. Before I go out and buy some pinkies could she eat a fuzzy? She's almost a year old, and she can pack down pinkies. Here's a picture of her girth.

    This is more HD picture of her from the site I bought her from, she's eaten 3 pinkies since though.

    Can't really tell from the pictures. But if the fuzzies are a lot bigger then the largest part of her body I wouldn't recommend it.

    If she's almost a year old I think she can handle a fuzzy just fine.

    Depends how big that 1 year old is, in a lot of cases most people tend to be very conservative when feeding (not big enough and not often enough), and while a 1 year old with proper feeding can be anywhere from 60 to 100+ grams many keepers have 1 year olds barely weighing at 15/20 grams.

    As far as feeding goes it's not hard just eyeball it, the prey should be 1 to 1.5 times the girth size of your snake, 2 to 3 times a week.
