    Weights and Feeding
    Spider Male: 104g



    Pastel Female: 263g


    I think I might have been underfeeding the pastel. She's been getting 1-2 small adult mice every 7 days.


    What should I be feeding these two?

    The rule of thumb i go by is 10-15% of their body weight and/or the thickness of the snakes girth at the widest part.

    Yes I know that but what sizes would go with those weights?

    Sorry, misunderstood. My ball weighs 170g and takes a large adult mouse so your pastel could take a small oe medium rat. The spider could probably take a hopper.

    By large mouse I mean 30g.
