If he is at a nice weight, then just keep doing what you're doing. If he is starting to look a little chubby, tapper off a bit :)

just wondering
I can't feed my BP enough. She's 5 months old and probably 20-25" already, and somewhat skinny I must say. She eats large adult mice every 5 days, and still I can't keep up. Any suggestions? Should I switch to rats? The only thing keeping me from doing it is her lack of girth...her length appears to be fine.

rats are known for having more protien then mice. is the mouse big enough? i would try to switch to rats as soon as possible.

She's a biggun huh :) You could probably try bigger prey a little less often (then maybe she wont grow so fast, and put on a little weight) or maybe 2 mice at once every 7 days...
Thats good question. How much does she weigh?

I'm not exactly sure how much she weighs. I'll take some pics tonight, she's due to eat, and maybe you all can make a better assessment based on that. They should be up later on. Thanks everyone
