    Dang weaned rat that's huge. Here's a better pic. Is he a pretty good specimen of a super pastel? The breeder only had 5 left . A mojave spider mojave and pastels and the 1 super pastel I bought . I think I will try a fuzzy rat. He's a little wider than a quarter maybe silver dollar


    I removed the temporary tape inside his cage . Worry not

    Pictures can lie about size, that's the bad part but I still can't see any pictures because I'm at work. In all honesty at 4 months old he should be able to tackle rat pups. I've had snakes less than a month old eating rat pups. I would say though just to be on the safe side, grab a rat fuzzy and try it, see if he'll eat it. If he does then that will give you an idea about if you need bigger than rat fuzzies and it'll also show you if you even need to order rats. Once you try that then we can find a place for you to get your f/t rodents from and what sizes you'll need.

    In the picture compared to your hand, he looks like he could put down a pup no problem. When you get a second, straighten him out and get an idea of his girth and find a rat about the size of his widest part, shouldn't be too hard. Or if you want to be more precise grab a scale.

    Yea, now that I'm home and I can see the pictures I can say that he should easily be eating rat pups. I have balls smaller than him eating rat pups.
