How much to feed

[VooDooDoc]

The rats I get (frozen) are 40g. I get them from Petco so limited selection. Maybe I'll try to find a different store that has them a bit bigger or start feeding every 5 days till I can go up a size.

Won't do the double feeding thing. Also will not mix prey items, figured that would be a bad idea, but hey that's why I use on this forum.

I'm not concerned about packing on the weight, just not looking to get my hand bit when I reach in the tank cause he's a pig and hopes my hand is food.

That isn't ever going to happen undress your hands smell like rats. BP's can tell the difference between your hand and a rat easily, nothing to be worried about.

Also there is no problem at all with feeding rats and mice at the same time. I do it all the time with no ill effect.

Tell that to my snake . After about 3-5 days after he eats, I stick my hand in and he strikes at it. He'll then sort of follow it with his head and I reach with my other hand and pick him up from behind and he calms down instantly and is fine. I take him out and let him crawl around, and watch TV with me, no issues.

I'll keep that in mind.
