My guy's getting close to 4 ft long now I believe, with a nice girth to him. I usually feed him one $2 live rat every week..they tend to be, oh, I dunno 1.5 -2 inches in diameter? Osiris is a good 2.5 - 3 inches in diameter, so I was thinking about moving up to the $4 (large) rats. However, those suckers can get pretty big, and even my local pet store (not a chain) suggested 2 regulars instead of 1 large one. I'd just need to wait for him to swallow the first, go into that 'seeking' mode right before the (slide back to hide), and drop the second one.
Doe anyone have advice going for larger feeds in their adults? Osiris isn't a picky eater, (well, except for those agonizing f/t attempts), but I don't want him to become intimidated by his meal! So do your scalyteens prefer 2 med. rats or 1 large one? And do you still feed once a week with 2?
Thanks guys! I love this site, the collective advice is always so helpful.
