After about 6 weeks of two mice a week I decided to give him a try on a small rat. I went up to NERD to see Kara and she picked out a few rats that she said my snake could handle. I looked at the rat and was thinking how in gods name my pencil neck of a snake is going to eat that. I do know that you go by the biggest part of the snake but still! I had two mice thawed out just in case and the rat was bigger than the two put together.

Anyway, he snatched and coiled immediately and dragged it into his hide. He looked like he was pretty cramped in there trying to get it into position seeing he backed half his body out of the hide at one point.

Here is a recent pic showing his size. He has been a pleasure thus far which has made being a new snake owner a wonderful experience. I am already planning on going back up to see Kara for a Pastel in the near future.
