Meal Size

Just wanted to get some opinions on his meal size. Does this look O.K? Hes getting one every 5 days. He ate 2 last feeding though....A month ago at the vet he was 78 grams. The pictures are pretty crappy because they are stills from a video.

Hey Missi, the pictures did not come through.... Could you share how old your snake is?

Im trying to get the pics to work, they are in my gallery, he is 3 months.

I'd try him on a 19g fuzzy rat... I think that's like a small adult mouse. I can't tell what he's eating in the picture though....

I don't have a scale and you just pick a size out of some boxes in a frezzer where I get them, there not labelled or anything, maybe Ill invest in a digital scale.

OMG, YES!!!! Digital scales are cheap and so much fun!!!! We weigh the food, we weigh the snake. We weigh the snake after digestion, after poo, all the time! It's a lot of fun to chart their growth and it really helps keeping good records if they ever have to go to the vet. Balls grow really quickly and so it's fun to chart them week by week!!

lol, digital scale it is then lol. Then I can get an accurate estimate for his prey size:) Ill bring it with me to buy the fuzzies and Ill check out what size weighs what, Im sure they will laugh at me but who cares! lol
