Correct me if I'm wrong please... Anyone.... But it was my understanding that mice did not grow past 40 grams.
100 gram mouse???? Anyone?

Well my $200 lab scale doesn't lie .It was a female mouse ( I noticed that when I fed it to my older snake :D) It may have been pregnant .Still if this one was in a package labeled large adult mouse the other ones I'm guessing would be near that size.

just make sure you have good steady temps about all ya need that is about what every baby i ever have looks like after a meal LOL
That lump should be gone in about 2-3 days like any other meal
And for the life of me i still can not figure out why Folks have this notion that BPs have slow metabolism...a healthy and properly housed BP will digest an appropriate sized meal (relative to its size) as fast as any other boid....wether it be a boa,burm,carpet or anything....ALL my babies get fed like what you see pictured some will eat like 2x week and i honestly couldnt tell you the last time i had a regurge...
Im also not using any kind of housing where i could have inconsistent hear too...My racks stay the exact same temps year round 89 hi to 83 cool so i never have to worry bout temps flucuating where the fear of a regurge would be a problem
