    My Bp jaw is weird
    I just noticed that the left side of his jaw doesn't seem right. Should I be worried?http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/02/ysehuva4.jpg

    It's hard to decipher with two separate pics. Could you take a picture of her head on? Also maybe one of under her head? Easier to spot any swelling this way.

    He just struck at me and the jaw looks normal. So I'm guessing he just didn't realign it when I fed him.

    When did he eat?

    No no, when...not what :P
    Generally, they will realign their jaws within a couple minutes of getting the rat down.
    How old is he? Rat pinks are generally too small for BPs even right out of their eggs. I've never fed anything smaller than a rat pup to a hatchling.

    I think it might be a rat pup and I fed him on Sunday. He is a couple of months old.
    Here is a pic of the ratshttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/02/u7u9uzus.jpg

    If he's a few months old, he should definitely be on rat pups.
    My littlest ones were hatched in April. I feed them a pup once a week. They're almost 200g are allllmost ready for weanlings.
    Look at the fattest part of your snakes belly. The rats that he eats should be just a little bit fatter than that. You should be able to see a buldge for about 2 days after he eats. In my opinion, those rats are definitely a bit too small :)

    Yeah I saw the bulge after he ate, but I will get bigger rats for him
