    Thanks! Leonard’s color in these pics is mostly from the lights in my living room. He’s still pretty grey as well but getting a little bit of buckskin coloration on his dorsal pattern.
    This is how he looks under the ceiling light in the snake room.

    You can do 2 hoppers per feedings. That is what i was told by Chris to do when i was planning to up size Gina. You basically want to slowly stretch him for bigger food so he doesnt puke it up. Gina is almost 2.5 years old and she is still on weaned rats every 2 weeks. Same with Louie and Luna.

    Awesome, thanks dude! Was hoping you’d chime in. That’s exactly what I was concerned about, regurge from too large of a new prey item. That and having a bunch of leftover hoppers with nothing else to help eat them (yet)... I just fed him tonight before I leave for all of next week. I’ll probably step up to two hoppers every 10 days once I get back from my winter break.

    I know Sauzo already answered this, and I agree with him. Feed 2 every 10 days until your stock runs out.

    Thanks rich. He’s easily doubled his body mass in the last 7 months but it’s still wild for me to be raising such a slow growing snake for once. He’s going to be 1yr old on March 28th and he’s barely 2’ long, if even, and maybe 150grams or so

    He's looking sharp!! I'm right there with you. Creeper is growing really slow too. He's def getting longer but is still thin as a rail.
