Quick Feeding Question

[emmm1984]

I currently feed Max 30g fuzzies, but I'm toying with the idea of stepping it up to 45g mice. He's grown a bit since I got him, and the fuzzies seem kind of small now. The mice are a little smaller than around than Max's width, which I've heard is the general rule. Just wanted to double check. Today is feeding day so any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

How much does he weigh?

If the feeder is the same size or even just a hair larger than your snakes thickest part you are fine.

I haven't been able to weigh him, so I'm not entirely sure. :\ The mouse I'd like to feed him is a tad smaller than his widest part, but it is a bit longer than the fuzzy.

From a girth perspective, it sounds fine. I'd suggest investing in a digital scale - so you can track your snake's growth & weigh potential food.

Here's the one I recently purchased:

Hope that helps.
