    Feeder Size Chart/Recommendations
    Can any of you recommend an accurate feeder chart for BP's that show the snake size and the needed feeder for that size? My new addition is 18" and 117g. I would like a recommendation here, however, would like a good chart as well so I know how to gauge it in the future as well.

    Thanks

    10-15% of total body weight until its an adult.

    So for mine, that would make a feeder of 11-17.5g. This would be around a large hopper or a weaned. Does this sound about right?

    Yes sounds good! That young I like to feed the smaller size prey every 4 days. Once they hit 300-400 grams I go to the larger (15%) once a week.
