    Rat pups. Where are you getting them? Which pet store? Petsmart doesn't carry rat pups. They sell adult mice and then small rats.

    If your snake is over 300g it's probably ready for a 30-45g weaned rat. I tend to feed my younger snakes on the heavier side of the 10-15% of their body weight feeding guideline.
