Feeding help
Hi everyone,
I've been here for a few weeks, and have been learning from you all, thank you all so much. It really has been eye opening.
My BP Jake was given to me recently, about a month ago. The previous owners fed him a live mouse every two weeks. He is 4 years old.
I really can't tell if I should bump up his food or change what he eats. I don't know exactly how to weigh him, but it seems that other 4 year olds are already on mice.
Should I change to every week? Give him rats instead? How should I go about weighing him?
I've heard that if you can see a bulge in their stomach after feeding then they are full. I always see a bulge in his stomach, but I really just want to make sure.

Re: Feeding help
you need to get a scale to weigh him; weight is a great indicator of a snake's overall health.
once you know weight, follow this chart below:
