I'm back and have a quick question on feeding

[Slim]

I think I will do that. He looks like he is on the prowl now and most likely hungry, but I guess i can wait. I guess I can feed him a live rat until the f/t come too. IDK how I am going to be able to order over the internet. Won't it be hard for me to determine the correct size rat for my bp?

If you have the ability to weigh your BP, you can go by that as a guide for ordering. About 10% or so of the body weight should do it. Most rat breeders size their offerings a little differently. Some show relative sizes on their web sites. Here's an example:

You said he had been eating Small to Med rats before you picked him up. I consider a Small rat to be in the 70 - 90 gram range. To be honest, that's about as large as I would ever feed my males on a 7 day schedule. Big females might require a Med rat, but with males, I tend to lean toward slightly under feeding instead of slightly overfeeding. Again, the ability to weigh your snake is important to keeping good growth and feeding records.
