does he look big enough?

looks like he'd be a go for small rat pups.. if not. you have a really small crotch.

Hi all

I have a problem when feeding my python, Tequila. The petshops around here only bring the normal white mice or Hamsters. right now I think the hamsters are too big for my boy, however i notice that the mice are too small.

Is it possible to give him 2 mice in the same feeding? If so, how would this be done.

Many thanks!

Live or f/t?

Either way it is possible. It does take longer because you have to watch the snake and make sure you don't wait to long after the first one is finished.

Just wait til he starts flicking his tongue again and offer the second one. The snake may or may not take it but if they are hungry enough they will.

Cheers

hamsters shouldnt be fed to you ball.

if im correct are there skulls/bones to much for the BP to digest correctly?

They would have to be live.
Unfortunately here they don´t sell f/t mice/rats or anything (just pinkie mice) and I just can´t bang the mouse to kill it myself, so I have to feed him live. But I´ll try it in his next feeding.

As for hamster, many thanx for ur note as I didn´t know they were not good to feed. I haven´t given him any yet as they have been too big, so now I will definately not try them.

Many thanks for your help!! :)

an easy and humane way to kill your mice IF the store refuses to kill them for you is to place them on the edge of a table take a ruler and gently pin them by the neck at the base of the skull and pull the tail quick it will break there brain stem from there spine and kill them instantly and pain free. i assure you. in fact this is the way most pet stores will pre kill for you. or so i have seen.
