    2nd Successful Feeding

    So, my lil’ buddy came out for a few minutes this evening and is now enjoying his Christmas dinner. This is my 2/2 successful feeding and I couldn’t be happier.

    Weighed him this afternoon and he’s a beautiful 226 grams.

    Speaking of....is it out of the question to try him out on a 2nd helping? He was on live hoppers the whole time but when I brought him home (12/08) I was told I could start him on lg. adult mice. Would 2 this early be too much? I know he'll let me know if he's not hungry but he seems to have a voracious appetite and I just don't wanna make him too fat....just happy.

    His body condition looks great. How big are your adult mice? If they're the size of a typical adult mouse, 1 is plenty with your snake weighing 220 some grams. It's very easy to overfeed snakes.

    Also, you may want to consider trying to switch him over to rats if he's eating so readily.
