My snake is still pretty small, the guy at reptile specialty store told me from his size he's under a year old. So He's getting one mouse that's as big as the thickest part of his body. I don't know if it's a cut of not I haven't gotten a good look cause he's still over there working his meal down. I'll check it out and see. I just want to make sure he's alwways happy and healthy so I get concered about a lot of things.
