    Feeding...

    Well, today will be the first time I feed my BP. Anyway, the breeder I bought him from said just feed him live Hopper Mice. Well I was wondering if I could feed my snake some thing a little bigger. This is a Picture of him.



    Keep in mind that he is only in a 10 Gal Tank.

    I would say that since this is your first feeding, go with what the breeder was feeding to get him started. Once you get the mouse in there you will be able to get a better picture of the size comparison between the two, which will help in deciding whether or not to move up the prey size...

    ^ X2. You could get two mice if you wanted too. Just incase he is still hungry. Good luck! That's is a really nice pattern btw.
