Is my BP too Skinny?

Is my baby too skinny?

I feed her fuzzies right now but next feeding time I will switch to larger mice.

I also don't know how old it is or what sex it is, but I do know that she is 87 grams.

You're feeding fuzzy mice or rats...?

If mice, those are WAY too small for her/him, and your BP can easily take at least hopper mice or fuzzy rats.

She doesn't look too thin but I defiantly like my little ones to be little chunks.

How often do you feed her?

She doesn't look thin per se, I'd switch her to hopper mice or rat crawlers all the same.

I feed her every 4 days with mice fuzzies.

I get my mice at petsmart.

Definitely step her up to at least mouse hoppers and she should really spurt for you :gj:

I feed these small mice to my corn snake and the fuzzy to my BP.

Could I feed the small mice to my BP or is that too large of a jump?

The mice are a little larger than my BPs body.

hoppers or small mice would be fine.:gj:

X2 ^ It looks a little triangular and thin too me. I would definately bump up they prey size. They can handle anything that is the same size around as their thickest part. And when they are eating good, they usually will grow pretty quick. Before you know it, you will be up to small rats!

I personally don't believe they don't need to be super fat. Young snakes are naturally leaner anyway. She looks great to me, but yes, definitely should be feeding bigger meals for her to start growing. :)
