? for those of you that have mouse eating BP's

You can of course keep her on mice, but please be aware as she gets bigger, she'll eat 5 or 6 mice in a sitting, maybe more.

At 900 grams, 10% of her weight is 90 grams, so she'd need 3-4 25 gram mice just to maintain her weight.

I'm not saying it can't be done, I know people here who have mice eaters, but you better be prepared for the work it involves.

Where is this idea coming from? 10%?? I've got several females between 2000-3000 grams and they still never get anything bigger then a medium rat, and most are still on smalls. Although I'll occasionally throw them something bigger, my personal rule of thumb is to not feed anything larger then 100 grams to a ball python.
