My New Albino (& question about food size)
Hi all! Mrs. Mia Wallace arrived earlier this week, and I've just gotten around to taking a few pictures. I put her directly in her terrarium and she's stayed in her hide around the clock. Though, I did catch her out of her hide late last night.
First time owner, here, so bear with me I plan on feeding her tomorrow. The folks at the pet store (I know, I know, they're not the experts!) said she should be given pinkies. I've read on the forums here to give food no bigger around than the snake. Considering her body is plump, but her neck is very slender, in comparison, should I go by the size of her body or neck? She's a little under 2 ft long. Would fuzzies be okay, or should I go with pinkies?

Very nice. I would go with rat fuzz or crawlers. Anything too big might freak her out if they were using pinks. Just depends on what your rodent supplier calls each size.
What does she weight? Rule of thumb is about 15% of her body weight.

I would go with at least hopper mice, anything smaller doesn't usually arouse their attention.
She's very pretty too!

I think she's close to a rat pup size. She's a lovely lady

a pinki looks way to small to me for this beautiful snake..

Many thanks for the advice and compliments, everyone!
I'm pleased to say her first feeding went well, tonight. Gave her a rat crawler, which did end up being about 15% of her body weight, and she took it immediately.
