    Your welcome and I thought both these charts with a bit of common sense is almost a perfect feeding chart I've only had my 2 bps for a month or two but I go by the chart and they both eat perfect shed perfect so far and are gaining weight!!

    My BP hasn't shed yet and I've had him a few weeks now. Should I be worried? I've never had my other snakes go through shedding issues.

    Just wanted to chime in, my girl looks around the same size as yours and is around the same age ... she is on rat pups

    she was started on mice too, and for me she transitioned to rats seamlessly ....of course every BP is different I'm sure...so far she's proving to be a very good eater so I may be lucky

    What do you feed after 500g and how often? (We switch between small and medium rats with our adult. Would a 500g be on smalls once a week until 1500g and up and then go to mediums?)
