Also, above you are saying fasting is if it is a bad thing and is to be avoided. Why, they do it in nature, most of my breeding boys and girls do it during the winter months (as do a lot of other "big" breeders snakes)?

Finally I did reread your post and you said to feed a small rat or 2-3 small mice...again you don't know how big the snake is to recommend this...I still believe the best answer is to feed one no bigger then the fattest "girth" of the snake (or as you say and Joanna have pointed out one slightly smaller )

Peace
well I am not in charge of this forum so for the caresheet there is not much I can do.

I do not say fasting is a bad thing I say it can have a specific cause and as an owner if my BP show a certain behavior I will try to find out why.

Fasting for adult that are breeding is a whole other topic and he did not mention he was breeding.

I did say FEED A PREY SLITGHLY SMALLER

and again added that an ADULT WOULD NEVER NEED ANYTHING BIGGER THEN A SMALL RAT nowhere did I say to feed a small rat.

The reason I added this information is so people understand that as they become adult they do not need anything bigger than a small rat.

It is just an additonal information (Free of charge) didn't not know I was not suppose to give supplemental info.
