I also purchased the thermostat suggested earlier in this post and a digital hygrometer...should have both by early next week. so with his weight....any suggestions as to what size rat I should try next. Also he has eaten 4 times for me since I got him.....he hasn't pooped or peed yet (that I can see in his enclosure) should I be concerned?? thanks in advance for any further information and suggestions!
No pooping is not a concern, but no urates is.
Make sure you do regular spot cleaning to see that this happens.

I hope someone with a more experienced eye comes along with regards to knowing if you were lied to or if the snake really is that underweight.

I would be feeding at 10-15% body weight or to the widest part of the body (as previously mentioned). Only you can eye that up for yourself, really. But somewhere between 19-28g rat should do. I'd stick to the lower end myself - this would probably be rat pups.
