I'm back and have a quick question on feeding

[Spyderco1116]

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.

You bring up a good point. I think I may have to invest in a scale. I've been looking at RodentPro so I may go with them. I see alot of people on here talk about them and they seem to not have any problems with them. Sounds like I will be shooting for small rats.
