How much to feed my BP?

[Vypyrz]

How many and what size ret should I feed my BP? I have had him a week and he has ate once with no problems. The store I got him at said to feed him one Hopper a week. He is 69 grams. Does one hopper a week sound right?

Usually, when they are young you can shoot for a prey item that weighs about 10-15% of the snakes weight. So, you can feed a hopper mouse, or, if you want to try rats, offer a medium sized rat pink. I have a digital food scale that I take to the pet shop to weigh my feeders, so I get the right sizes.

And to BP.net...
