    One month!

    It's been just over a month now that I've had this little guy. He came to me freshly shed and very bright. He's in shed again right now and is much darker. I didn't realize the colour change would be so drastic 0: He has also grown quite a bit in size.

    He is currently on f/t rat pups weekly. When would he need an upgrade in food size? I don't have a scale so could someone provide a visual representation of it maybe?

    Usually it is to feed a rat that is about the same width as the snake is wide.

    Get yourself an inexpensive kitchen scale. Get use to weighing your snake so U may be able to figure out how big of prey to feed, eye balling isnt a good method if you are questioning your own abilities to eye ball it. Weigh snake.. Figure out 15 to 20% of its weight for prey size.
