    Re: okay so.....

    Hi,

    A hopper what?

    How much did it weigh and how much does the snake weigh? Or how big was it in relation to the thickest part of the snake?

    should more then likely be ok. hopper is kinda small for that size snake... pics for reference would be nice, cause everyone considers certain sized mice differently.

    At 2 feet your BP should be at rat pups/large adult mice, unless he has been under fed.
    Also once every 5-7 days.
