    what should this little guy be eating?

    i have had him eating 2 adult mice(but normally he only eats 1 or none, but im hoping thats from winter fasting, he used to eat two all the time)

    should he be eating anything else?

    can you guys tell by this pic?

    Hmm kinda hard to tell for sure, but based on my BP and a sock and nickle comparison then looking at your pic's Id guess he could easly eat a weaned rat. he may even be able to eat a sm rat depending on how big around he is. my BP is a little over 2 1/2 ft, is bigger around than a 50 cent piece and eats sm rats(4.5-6" nose to butt)

    Yep, definitely big enough to be eating ratlings. :) Remember just to match the girth of the prey to the girth of the snake.

    Yar - small ratlets should be in order.
