    My BP is about 30" long, he weighs around 700g. I feed him a f/t small rat or 2 large, fat live adult mice. To me a hopper is very small, about an inch long, about 12 to 15g. A 2-inch long mouse sounds to me like a small adult. It's hard to tell without seeing, I think that's why people go by weight on them.

    But yeah, if she's acting hungry, feed her again.

    Goes both ways. I buy hoppers from a place that calls them "small mice." What I call a "small adult", they call a "large mouse."

    It's one of those "go figure" things.
