    Thank you! Since she’s only 3 feet I’m going to be feeding her a weaned rat every 2 weeks. I may extend it if needed. My biggest fear is regurgitation syndrome, I read it’s more common in BCCs. The weanlings I have are smaller than her body width so I’m hoping she digests well. Do you suggest a UTH for them? I don’t use UTHs for my royals and they are thriving.
