    Please Give Me Your Opinion.
    I fed my bp who is 110 grams, a 20 gram hopper last friday. He has been hunting for the last three days and I was planning on giving him another 20 gram hopper tomorrow. (5 days interval) Is this too much? He sits in his tree in a very identifiable strike position right above where i feed him.

    haha thank you thats all I really wanted to know. The hoppers are quite large compared to him so I was a little concerned. He would eat 2 20 gram hoppers in a row if I offered but I thought that was too much.

    Our little guy who goes 136 grams slammed down two mouse hoppers no problem in quick succession tonight. He had the second in a choke hold before we even got the tub closed! :gj:

    Two mouse hoppers? Man you need to bump them up also.. My snakes hit 200g I put them on small rats.. Not saying you have to . But maybe try a Full grown mouse..

    The hoppers are already thicker than his widest girth. I don't think he could gulp down much more than the ones he has. In the last week he has gone from 80 grams to 110 grams so i don't want to push it. He also just got off 1 month of meds for mouth rot. Should I really feed him half his weight in food, thats what bumping him up any more would be.
