Lazy Boys?
I dont think there is really any truth to it. Both my lesser and pastel boys are over 1kg, my pastel will breed anything, but hes seasoned. My lesser is on his first breeding season and shows no interest in the ladies. Just their individual personality I think.

In my opinion a medium rat for a snake less than 1000g is crazy. Smalls are more than enough for males, for their entire lives.

Re: Lazy Boys?
I'm surprised he's eating mediums. My 1500g bp was on mediums for a short time after he hit the 1300-1400g mark, but him and I agreed he liked smalls better so he gets 2 small rats bi-weekly. You can definitely downgrade.
That pic is great btw. Like how he looks like he is "floating" in a pool with his face sticking up out of the water.
And because you said beefy it made me think of this:

Re: Lazy Boys?
I don't I think they get lazy at a certain gram weight. I think it has more to do with their body condition. In my experience, when my males got chunky they became lazy breeders. Ours get one small rat once a week unless they go off feed for breeding. We like to keep them slim.

My males are all on mice, 1-2 mice weekly. Although I used to feed more and my lesser for example, well, got a little beefy, to use a previously used description. Suppose that could be why he has no breeding interests, hes on a diet now.. lol

Lazy Boys?
how long do you wait before feeding them their second mouse?

If i feed two, one right after the next. I also feed my females small rats, so the really big girls get two or three, same deal, one after the next.

Re: Lazy Boys?
I appreciate the input. I'll definitely size down the food and frequency of offerings. I think I stayed with the prey equal to the body size guideline for too long after 500 grams. That's probably why he thickened up so well. I have no problem going back to small rats. Cheaper anyway.

When I feed multiple mice I just wait until the first mouse is all the way down into the belly then offer the next one a minute or two later. You don't want to interrupt all the muscle contractions it takes to move the first mouse down. Give them a minute to get comfortable.
