    Feeding Chart
    I have been searching to see if I can find one. I am looking for something that I can compare weight of snake to size of prey.

    I guess I am just having a hard time seeing what I should be at compared to what he is at.

    Currently he is 105 Gram as of last week. And he had two frozen hoppers last week. He was born 7/4/09.

    My search skills are not the greatest.
    Thanks in advance

    Growth rates will vary from snake to snake.

    You can feed 10-15% of the snakes body weight or a feeder as thick around as the widest part of the snake.

    That is pretty tiny for a 3 month old snake. I would start feeding him adult mice. A hatchling can eat a hopper mouse and quickly moves up to adult mice.

    I know this isn't what you're looking for exactly - but I just made my own chart.


    I then have this graphed on a diagram, but I can't figure out how to paste it into this forum message.

    Microsoft excel is perfect for making your own.
