    This was my first time feeding Cajun. He ate two fuzzies because they didn't have any small hoppers. He ate them pretty well. Im glade that he isnt a problem eater. I was only going to give him one fuzzie, but I thought to myself, that what if he didn't want to eat next week? This way he'll have two mice in him.

    It can be very surprising just how large a rodent a BP can swallow. Even fairly young BP's can handle small adult mice without too much problem. The general rule of thumb is to not offer them any prey that is larger than the thickest part of their body. You'll be amazed at just how much that skinny little "neck" stretches out to accomodate dinner.
