If he is a slow grower, seems that's all I get with reptiles... Got a Beardie thats possibly the same way...

And I'm iffy if I'm going to breed him or not later on, it'll be a few years before that, and only if I can get my hands on a het pied, or pied girl

I'd really rather do the once a week feeding with ONE item, but I'm not sure if my petstore has jumbo mice. They do have feeder rats though! I'm hopin that since he's such a good snake over all, he'll be ok with switching, do it no problem... Again wishful thinkin'
