Find this hard to follow

So my snake isn't the biggest of snakes and following this chart the small mice are much bigger then my snakes biggest spot. It's only just a little bigger then my thumb and about 90g( waiting for new digital scale to come in) I got the smallest adult mice the store had. And they didn't have rat pups. Would it be fine to feed 2 hoppers? any advice would be great

2 hoppers will do, if the mouse you bought is too big. I am usually amazed how big they can eat though! Sometimes can't believe how they can cram it though that neck!

Have you fed it before? It might only need one little hopper if its only 90 grams.

I have successfully fed him 3 times I was doing between a fuzzy and a hopper but my store was out. He would eat it just fine. And wouldn't show signs of searching for about a week

If it's on the smaller side it should be fine. Knowing the weight will help you determine whether or not you should feed it

Each of them weigh 25g

Ok, I would hold off on those then. If you heave a few hoppers then yeah, two would be good.

Two 25 gram mice would be quite a bit for a 90 gram animal. You could try putting her on an accelerated feeding schedule and feed her about every four days until she can handle larger prey items. Like Godzilla said, it's amazing the size of prey they can swallow. Think about in the wild when you see African Rock pythons who have just eaten a gazelle, or anacondas who will take down a fullgrown capybara or small tapir. The only concern with giving her a larger mouse would be that mice near grown can be rather aggressive and you don't want you animal injured. You can always try prekilling it though which would perhaps get you on your way to being able to use frozen thawed. Then you could order what ever you want online. Best of luck.

I didn't plan on feeding both. But thank you.

Just wanted to update I think my old scale was really off. My new digital scale says he eats 108g
