I think a lot of pet store so called experts give people bad advice about feeding. I was lucky I came here first but when I first got my BP he was about 75 grams and just tiny. I read here and went to the pet store to buy hopper mice for him and just out of curiosity I asked the lady at the pet store what they were feeding the BP in a tank they had for sell. I kid you not this snake had to weigh 250-300 grams and she said they were giving it 1 pinky mouse a week and it was almost big enough to move up to hopper mice. At that rate I am amazed the snake would grow at all.
P.S. I am not bashing everyone that works at a pet store just the ones that work at my local Pet Store.
the pet store i went to said that feeding 2 pinkies would be sufficiant
