Hi all,

The BP FAQ states

"9. What is the right size prey to feed my BP?

A rodent who's girth is the same size or a bit smaller, than the widest part on your snake."

My local pet supply store is out of mice, but they had some rats. I usually feed 3 adult mice every week, shes about... 500g?

The rat is very, very, very close to being the same size or possibly even slightly wider than the widest part of my snake.

I warmed it up, offered it, snake snagged it immediately, but snake seems to be having trouble getting it in/down. It is actually slowly going in, and I've never seen her expand as much.

As long as the snake can get it down, is it ok? I'm worried that shes going to blow up or not be ok.
