the width of the mouse hips should equal the widest part of the snake right? thats what i fed him, just seems amazing to see it the first time how such a big mouse can get down that skinny little neck. there wasnt a 'lump' but he was deffinatly'fulller' looking after
Sounds like you got it about right. The PW here has hoppers that are about as big as the smaller adults, and they're cheaper!

Early on, I gave Milton a mouse that was too big (before I found this site!)- he acted like Grampa after Thanksgiving day! He kind of turned on his side even... if he had pants, he'd have unbuttoned them... lol

Mine's about 2 1/2 feet long now, and about 2" thick. My understanding is that they get long, then plump out. I just saw a guy's tonight that's not much over a year and is really thick (and a little over 3'), so that's what we have to look forward to! I remember being excited about him crossing the 2' mark!

Have you seen any adults in person?
