What size?

If she keeps eating, it's very likely - but keeping eating is the catch. 1000 gram females are notorious for messing with your head.

If she keep eating she will likely get there by the end of the year but it's hard to guarantee that she will keep eating, around the size she is now they often hit a wall so it doesn't always turn out the way we hope for.

hey,

yeah that wall... my Orange Ghost female is there already for like 3 months orso, she is now down to 975 grams orso

My Lesser Pastel did just take a rat so i am concidering myself lucky that she isnt fasting yet.

And to bring some good news, my Pastel het. Piebald female who was +/-850 grams when she desided she was big enough to stop eating (01-21-2015) now finally after 2 months took something, only it was a F/T mouse, but hey a mouse is better then nothing.

should i try to give her more? or just keep it at this 40 gram F/T mouse to get her digestion system started up again after a 2 month fast?

When I use this method to get them eating again, they've usually been good to go back up to regular size after the first smaller "jump start" meal. Your results may vary.

Seems like too many people around here are in a rush to breed. This is not a get rich quick sceme. These are live animals we are talking about..

I can see why you are saying that, and i do agree with you but...

that is not what i am trying to do, that is why i asked what size i should be feeding.

ok thanks a lot!

I will keep it at this 40 gram mouse then and hope she will eat again next week

The way I've always determined the quantity or size is to take the largest part of my snake and match that size to the rats. It may be better to start with two smaller ones that will end up being the same width as your biggest part of python.
