We over bought small prey when we bought Avalon, our 1st and only snake.. She is up to eating 4 of those little mice a feeding. We like watching her strike and curl it up, so it is actually better for us. It doesn't seem to hurt her at all, she'll swallow one and start roaming looking for more..

We hope to get the right size prey at the next show that happens close to us.. Gonna try rats too, probably a rat pup and some wean-lings.. Just not sure of how many of each to get? Also all she has ever eaten is Mice so I'm curious as to will she even take a rat? I'd hate for us to buy a bunch and then have her refuse them? I guess I could get one from the pet store and try it first, huh?

Anyways , Good Luck too you, Bill in Indiana
