    Re: New Pet

    I agree and every 11 days is too long to wait. I feed on a 7 day schedule.....let me tell you on day 6 they are ready. I forgot how big you said she was.....I can tell you one of mine is a little over 500 grams she typically will take 1 jumbo mouse (38 to 48 grams) and 1 adult (15 to 20 grams) every 7 days. But with switching to rats will be a little cheaper as you do not have to feed as many....plus they are bigger and feeding one rat as opposed to 2 or 3 mice is a little easier on their digestive system.

    Definitely give her a rat then! That is a pretty big snake to just be eating mice. One rat would be much easier for you and her.
