    Feeding 2 Mice Now

    So I went to the pet store today and bought 2 mice instead of 1 b/c my snake's girth is getting much bigger and I got home and put in the first mouse, he ate it, then I put in the 2nd mouse and he grabbed it in a matter of 5 seconds and then ate that one right away....my snake is the greatest eater ever...i never have any problems w/ anything....YAY!!!

    Re: Feeding 2 Mice Now

    thats great news. wait till your BP gets around 1000 grams during the fall and winter though. thats when they stop feeding if they do. hatchling usually aren't that finicky. thats been my experience. back in the day when i was a huge noob i used a daylight bulb, no form of heat during the night, handled most everyday and my female still ate every week and never regurged.

    Congrats,are you going to switch him over to rats anytime soon? You will see a big differance in his growth rates when he eats rats as they are more meat for the meal lol.

    i was going to switch to rats but my pet store only has medium and jumbo rats and the medium rats r way too large for my snake at this time...so i just feed 2 mice instead which was what i was told to do if i couldnt get a rat...
