I've always adhered to the "thickest part of the body" when it comes to feeding. Ruby, my smallest bp, was 54g when I got her. I got her from a guy on Craigslist for free. (I was picking up a snake for a friend, and they offered me her for free. "She's a normal, what good is she." -.- She was hatched out in Sept. I got her Feb 12. He was "maintainence feeding" her a pinky, once a week. In my eyes, he was starving her. She was all bone, dehydrated and very twitchy. I first opened her tub, because the guy wouldn't go near her. She struck out at me 5+ times. I fell in love. Lol.

Anyways. She was on fuzzy's for a couple weeks, then I moved her to hoppers, and when she was 90g, she was thick enough to take a small adult mouse, and she did it. No problems, no spitting it out, just.. ate it like a champ and wasn't hunting again 3 days later. Since then, she's been getting 1x liveit's amazing. I (I know, I know. Live vs F/t. She won't touch f/t.) a week, and she's packing on the weight, looking at before and after photos you can't tell it's the same snake. She's trippled in size since Feb. I couldn't be happier with her progress.

The reason I bring that up, is you say to wait to move to small adult, or adult mice at 153g. Is there a reason for that? I'm not.. judging by any means, I'm just curious. I fully agree that Pandora will rapidly catch up. Once they start growing.. It's amazing. Three cheers for proper care!
