Following advice here, I went and got a scale to weigh my son's Royal.

We are trying to up the prey size and move to medium sized rats from the Juvs.

The snake is 30" long 1 year and 1 month old and weighs 481 grams.

The frozen rat weighs 129 grams.

Is this a go situation? I've tried to feed her (pre scale) and was refused. The schedule has been once every 6-7 days and she has been taking rats since going from xl adult mice although a bit slower on the strike.

I tossed the last rat out as I didn't want to retry with one that had been thawed and used and cooled and reused.

Today will be day 9 between feedings and I do see she is peaking out of her hide. I will give her all day to think about it and maybe try tonight if the rat to snake ratio seems correct.

Again snake is 481 grams and the rat is 129 grams.

Thanks.
