BP's Weight

[janejuwana]

Good day friends, my BP is 55-58 cm long, and her weight is 170 grams, do you think it's ok ? I feed him with 2 mice every week, the mice altogether weighed around 10-12 grams.

Hi,

It's difficult to say without pictures but you might be able to move up a size in mice to one that weighs about 17-25g.

But a picture would definately help judge.

The normal recommendation is 10-15% by weight or around the same size as his thickest bit.

To me, she looks thin. I would offer more food.

Hi,

She looks like she could handle the bigger size no problems.

Thanks alot guys, can someone give me the approximate size of the mice and rats ? I kinda confused about their size, is it true that rats are bigger than mice ?
As for my BP is it ok that she takes the meal 15 % of her weight but divided in say 3-5 mice ?
