Eeden is 107g today, full on in blue and took two fuzzies. I left the third in for him to eat if he wishes.
Happy this little one is thriving. My daughter loved to hold him while she was here. She is a reptile girl!
Thank you so much! Yeah, Django's my buddy. I love love love all my snakes, but there's just something special about that guy!
Eeden seems to really be thriving with you. Great work!
I've never kept Milks, but if they're as close to their King cousins as I understand them to be, they'll typically eat ANYthing, ANY time. So don't rush the feedings.
Keep up the great work! It's such a rewarding feeling to turn a troubled snake around. Be proud of yourself and enjoy your new buddy! :gj:

He is such an awesome little one!
That's great news! It sounds like he is doing fantastic for you.
Although, I will say that unless you have particularly large hoppers, he shouldn't have an issue with the size of a hopper at that weight, I don't think. I'd be curious to see a side-by-side (maybe glass in between?) to see why you're thinking he needs the skull crushed to get it down.
My honduran milk snake, Ghost, was taking 9-12 gram hoppers on occaision no problem at around 100 grams.

Nice job Sunnie and Eeden!!!
I don't think you need to crush the skulls, either. I'd offer one and see what heppens. It'll likely go down easy breezy. If there seems to be any difficulty maybe crush a few. The jump in prey size will likely result in a growth spurt too, so even if you need to crush a few you won't have to for long.

anytime I jump in size for colubrids at work I crush the skulls for two feedings just to be sure.
Re: Rescue pueblan uodate
This is Eeden with his first hopper. He dragged it into the subatrate so i hope he really ate it. I digged around and didn't find it sooo....and he ate a fuzzy right after for a total of 15g of food.
My hubby said you cant see his spine anymore. :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c13f809eb2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e4e9df3adc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8ce8e8e8e7.jpg
