    To feed a BP you do not go by length but by the girth size!

    So feed a prey slightly smaller to equal your BP's girth size (widest part of your BP's body)

    Yep a full grown mouse is perfect for it. But not all full grown mice are the same size. Pick one that is the same size as the fatest part of the snake.
    I look for Long skinny mice not the short fat ones. And if you can feed them frozen thawed its a plus that way you dont have to worry about the mouse biting the snake or bringing in any germs or parisites.:snake:
