    To the OP, try feeding about 15-19 grams every 5 days. Have you given any thought to switching over to rats? I can get rat fuzzies that range from 19-38 grams. That covers a pretty wide range of feeding needs.



    I am just concerned if i get too big of a mouse/rat for him that he could potientially kill himself. A guy i know gave too big of a mouse to his BP and the snakes jaw broke and eventually died. I will feed every 5 days though and a larger meal.

    A 140 gram BP can take a 19 gram rodent.

    I would attempt a rat fuzzy. Good luck with you lil baby......my opinion is, feed what you wanna feed as long as your python likes it too :D:gj:
