    Bitting Buttons

    Keeping to the rule of prey size being 1x to 1 1/2 x as thick as the thickest part of the snake, I was wondering if length of the prey item should also be considered.

    Plissken right now is 22 inches long and about 1/1/2 inches in diameter Ive got a small frozen rat thats roughly the same diameter but its 5 inches long! Somehow when I look at it I say "aye yi yi too much for you Plissiken"

    They can take massive food items at any age... He's too young for rats, wait until he's 28 inches long.

    Feed a bit large then their thickest part, they can eat more but that size is about right.

    LOL I gotcha, as Wizzil said he probably could get it down, but as Godfather said if there is a choice adult mice are better due to the calcium they provide.

    Well Ive got one lil mouse left wich I guess Ill feed tonite its a small meal but better safe than sorry right?!
