What should sampson be eating?

[BrandiR]

I wish I knew how old Sampson really is. I want to say he is a year, only 2 ft long or so, that isn't a full adult is it? Aren't adults like full grown when 4 ft? Also if I did feed him a live rat, and something went wrong, what can I do to help? When I brought Sampson in to see what kind of mice he should eat, she actually said he was fat, and should eat an adult mouse every two weeks.

I really want to find out how much he weighs now, so I will get a scale, I just haven't seen any in any of the pet shops or supply shops I visit.

You don't have to get a scale from a pet shop. You can find them in the kitchen-crap section at Walmart, Target, whatever.
