Hey all. New to the forum and the snake world. I got a CB BP from a local reptile store 2 weeks ago. They fed him a live mouse before I left. After one week I fed him a F/T large mouse. Wanting to move him to rats right away, I asked the guy at the store. He said a small rat would be no problem. I measured his diameter at his thickest part (3.5 inches) and the rat is about the same if not a little bit bigger. I dont think it will be too big for him but wanted to check with some experts. I measured him today and he is approximately 20-22 inches long. I have no idea about his age but the guy at the store called him a yearling (or so he thought). The small rat is defrosting in the fridge for feeding tomorrow. Wanted to check first though. Thanks in advance!
