Adult mice always seem a little big for my BP, but he takes them down with no problems, and has eaten 5-6 now and never regurged or anything... he makes big poo tho lol.

Ha I agree. It is hard to guess the weight on some adult mice so I bring my scale when I buy them. But I have switched to small rats now that are about 35 grams.

yeah I need to get a scale. I've seen some nice digital kitchen scales at the local grocery store that arent too pricey.

Thats the way to go Try and get one that can hold at least 2000 grams. Mine goes up to 12 pounds and it was $24.

I've never weighed a feeder before, is it really that important to weigh them? I mean, in the wild a BP would be eating whatever it could find. I kind of eyeball the mice and if they seem to be small enough, they get eaten.

Its not super important to weigh them, personally I have a bad eye for weight which I found out after I bought 10 and half of them were 20 grams while the other half were close to 40. I like to know, that way I can gradually increase the size of prey.

Maybe next week ill get an adult mouse and see if he can handle it

speaking of poo.....what does a BP poo look like? because I found what I thought may have been some poo when I was moving stuff around yesterday. It was dry, kind of small and mostly white. I guess it could have been something that fell off of something as I was moving stuff around....but I've never seen snake poo so I dont really know lol.

I've noticed that I buy different sizes too, luckily I have two different sized BP's so I can mix and match the mice easily.

That is a urate, get to know them, you'll see them alot. Usually they are accompanied by a turd. Snake turds look just like any other turd. You'll know it when you see it... and smell it.
