    I have a new male hatchling, he hatched the 3rd August and he was 163g before his first feed with me (weighed by breeder on Friday) he's a consistent feeder on rats every 7 days (how the breeder fed him)

    I think rat fuzzies are too small for him, but without weights of the snake and the food I can't tell.

    Ok. Thanks. I'll go to the petshop and ask them what size their pups are.

    No. You don't need to do that. I thought you said you had a scale and some rat fuzzies already. I was talking about those.

    The rat pups should be fine.

    Oops, I'm sorry. Lol. Well you can use http://serpwidgets.com/main/measure if you upload an overhead pic of your snake they will tell you how long it is. I haven't used it before but it may work lol. I can't think of any other ways to get a really good measurement.

    My guy is about 5 1/2-6 months old and weighs 352 grams,100% empty stomach. I weighed him yesterday. He is eating weanling rats easily and can even handle a small rat,he's a beast. Fed him a small rat 2 weeks ago,it was to big and I bought it in a rush. He was insecure and didntwanna strike for like 20 mins,and kept sizing the rat up,but when he did,done deal... He's a beast.

    my little guy was eating rat pups on e he hit about 60grams ( I think I got him from a non feeder,cause he was super small he was super small when I first got him),before that was hoppers. Rat pups come in a few sizes,some are a little bigger than others it mot that much different,so pick out accordingly
