    Needed Weight Advice
    My bp is 3 months old.
    last week he ate 1 adult mouse just fine no problems F/T.

    after handling him this past week I thought he looked a little an the this side. So I took him to a friend who knows ALOT about snakes. She confermed my suspictions, because of his belly and some wrinkles. And advised that I weight him and get online and see what an average weight for a snake, nate's age to weigh. ANY IDEAS??

    So I weighed him and he was 202g. Last night I fed him two adult mice at 48g. Together. Also f/t.

    I got really lucky my first time feeding him 2 weeks ago I tried f/t and he took it imediatly! No need for all the conversion!

    PS. He is 17-8 inches long.

    Oh and one more question. Last night while he was eating he may have gotten a few peices of Fur Bark. Do you think he will be okay? I know that there is a chance of impation but how likely is it?? I did learn that the next feeding will be on paper towels in another container.

    sorry for the book I just wrote..

    Thanks ~Hollie~
