Looks to be perfect size to me, should be good.

:gj:

looks fine, they can open real wide. might leave a lump for a few days :)

Yeah, it looks to be the perfect size to me.

You should probably subdue it before offering it though. Switching from mice to rats can be problematic if you are not very careful about it. I have read lots of threads of snakes being bitten by Rats and then going off feed afterwords and refusing Rats from then on as well.

Good luck :gj:

You really need to get a scale, it will take the guess work out of feeding.

Its best to feed wither frozen or prekill the rat before feeding thats what I did before switching to frozen.

Very good job. Thats they way to do it, be watchful.

:gj:

Any more ??'s feel free to text me bro

Good job :gj: a watchful eye when feeding and quick reactions if needed are the telltale signs of good husbandry practices.

Have you watched the Feeding lessons video (sticky) yet?

I'm now glad I switched to this forum community from my old one. I feed live as well, and over there all I got was judgment. I am putting thought into switching to stunned or prekilled. Mas won't even look at a f/t.
