He can take an adult mouse, even a rat fuzzy

so i dont have a worry, the medium mouse looks so big

Don't worry, a snake that size will have no problem with an adult mouse.

agreed...

is there by chance a chart lurking somewhere around here with the sizes of snakes and the size/amount of food they should be eating?

10-15% of the snakes body weight

Jake isn't much bigger and is on adult small rats. I would say moving him up is ok.

Ahhh, thank you.
Now I just need a scale...

***llovelace*** · 05-21-2009, 09:17 PM

A scale is a definite must have item

A good rule is the snakes girth at the widest point to be about the same as the girth of the widest part of the rat/mouse hips.
