Maybe i can keep him in a plastic container how big do you think is good.
41 quart sterilite/rubbermaids from Wal-mart are what I use for my adult BP's. The 28qts work fine for juvies.

I took her to the vet yesterday and was told that it was an old wound from maybe a bite or something and that it was healing fine. She gave me an antibiotic ointment to put on it just in case. She has no mites no ticks and no internal parasites. The spot feels raised a little and she also has a rough spot close to it. But the doc said that will go away in a few sheds. She is about 26" and weighs about 300 gramms. So its not to serious. I am trying to get her on the same feeding schedule as my other BP that way i only have to make one trip to the reptile shop every week. At 26" long could she take two adult mice?

You know i heard a guy at the pet shop tell me that i should feed young rats but i dont think that they could get it down. Then he said that if i keep feeding small prey that their heads will not grow. I have been feeding Jojo 1 Adult mouse and sometimes a pinky rat. It sounds rediculous to me but is this true?

I know in that case we started off eating strained peas we would have heads the size of a grape. :lol:

Actually i put them together for the picture. I know i should not have put them together untill she got a clean bill of health. Lucky for me she has no contagous diseases and no parasites or i could have been in real trouble. I keep the new bp in a 27qt Sterilite container. She dont like it but she is ok i gave her a hostess cupcake box for a hide and she loves it. When do you recomend i put them together. The vet said it would be ok since she doesnt have any ailments
