my bp can take a medium mouse. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...2007/111-1.jpg my hand is from middle finger to palm 7in, hes eating a small mouse every 7 days
He can take an adult mouse, even a rat fuzzy
so i dont have a worry, the medium mouse looks so big
Don't worry, a snake that size will have no problem with an adult mouse.

Jake isn't much bigger and is on adult small rats. I would say moving him up is ok.

A scale is a definite must have item :)
A good rule is the snakes girth at the widest point to be about the same as the girth of the widest part of the rat/mouse hips.
