We feed him fussies, so maybe it's time to switch to rat pups or adult mice? I haven't weighed him. Will go and get a little digital scale today - seems like a good idea.

I do not have a thermostate. Where can I get one? They don't seem to have them at the pet stores.
I would say rat pups at least. If you don't have a scale, you can eyeball it. The food should be about as wide as the snake is at it's widest part. If you haven't seen a snake eat before, don't let the slender neck fool you. If something can fit in the wide part of the snake, it can fit down the mouth and through the neck.
