Hurting snake by feeding

[Bogertophis]

If you were a new snake owner and you made a mistake by feeding something too small and then you realized you wrre feeding too small you would have to jump to the size they need.

Mistakes happen...we've pretty much all made some & that's the purpose of sharing experience on this forum...so others don't make the same ones & pet snakes get the
best care they deserve. If a new snake owner realizes they've been feeding the wrong size, yes of course they should up-size the prey given. But it's just better to avoid
a drastic size increase...ok? BPs can be fussy eaters, & they might also reject something significantly different from what they're used to.
