What size should I move up to?

[Mina]

Right now Dax is eating 2 weaned rats a week. As soon as I run out of weaned rats I am going to increase his prey size, since he is doing well with digesting the additional amount of food.
My question is this, what size rat should I move him up to? What is equal or maybe even a little more food than 2 weans? I was assuming going to a medium, but wanted some opinions.

Your next size would be 1 small rat.Be carefull though as some view rat sizes differantly.What i consider a small(since i raise them) some pet stores might view them mediums.So what i used to do is look at the rodents myself and pick the ones i wanted,since i knew the sizes my snakes were capable of eating.Do not be shocked if your snake refuses the larger prey item the first time.I hope this helps

Thanks Joe. That is okay. I get my frozen feeders at a reptile show and the guy lets me go through and pick what I want as far as size goes. He is eating 2 small weaned rats a week now, and I'm going to the show this weekend, so I'll look at smalls and see what he has. I can also do some size relating with what he is currently eating.
