girth size

[gmmuscle91]

my bp's girth size at the largest point is about 3 and 1/4" diameter. she is about 20" long. does anyone think she is ready for rat pups? here are a couple pics

the two in the middle are the best comparisons

I would give that snake a nice rat fuzzy or crawler.

so do you think a rat pup is a little too big? just wondering because i might split an order of frozen rat pups w/ another guy on this sight, but if they are too big, then i wont.

thanks for all and any help

Well I don't know exactly what you mean by 'rat pup'. A pup could be anything from fuzzy to hopper in my mind. As long as it isn't bigger around than your snake's girth, then it's fine.

ok but im still not sure. here is the pic of the rat pups from rodentpro

go down to where it says pups.
thanks for all the help April. you are a very smart person

Oh yeah a pup should be fine. Those don't even have their eyes open yet.

And I'm not always smart.

well by the looks of your picture i don't think that snake is ready for anything more then a regular sized white mouse. My snake is 36 inches long and wider and she is on 2 mice every 7 days. have not had the use to feed anything more then yet yet.

Well a regular sized mouse(I assume you mean an adult mouse) is about the same size as a rat pup, so yeah I'd say it could take one. Easily. He looks like a little chubbo.

[Shelby]

Yes adult mice/rat pups are comparable in size. I would go for it.

Only reason i was thinking of a moust is because rats tend to have more of a attitude. But if ur not feeding live then i don't think that matters too much hehe.
