    There's no set size, they all grow differently based on how much they eat and what not.

    Re: Size

    Are you putting a second prey item into the snake's mouth as the first is going down?
    Are you feeding every 2-3 days?
    Are you forcing prey into your snakes mouth?

    If you answered yes to any of those, then yeah youre powerfeeding. If youre keeping your Juvenile/Teen BP on a regular feed schedule of 6-10 days in between feedings, youre ok. Also, if youre offering more than one item of prey and she takes it, thats ok too. She wont eat what she doesnt want. GOod to go, and she looks healthy.

    OH! GEt a scale if you dont have one. It'll help you track her growth and it's also kind of neat watching and tracking their growth.
