    Snake (51 – 90g) = fluff/hoppers (7 – 12g) - feed every 6 to 7 days
    Snake (91-170g) = Small Adult/Weaned (13-18g) - feed every 7 days (Includes medium mice 16 - 20g)
    Snake (170g+) = Large (19 to 25g) - feed every 7 to x days
    Snake (400+) = X large (30g +) - feed every 10 to x days


    looks like i've been underfeeding. i will definitely start beefing up his diet come next feeding.
    First off, I can't figure out how I missed this thread last night...

    Secondly, thanks for sharing that chart. I haven't really found a good one for colubrids and have just been feeding what leaves a bit of a lump and going with the 10-15% guideline. Turns out I've been fairly accurate to the chart, phew!!!
