2 feet long? Hmmm. My BP is a little over 2' long and he was born Sept. 22 07.

I feed him 1 25-30 gram mouse or rat-pup per week. He weighs 312 grams. I suggest getting a good kitchen digital scale so you can keep track of his weight and his food's weight. I am going to be getting him some larger foodstuffs soon, too. A good rule of thumb to use is to never feed prey with more girth than the snake. You could most likely go with a larger mouse or rar-pup now, rather than two small little meals. Weigh it to make sure it isn't too large (35+ grams) and make sure it isn't thicker around than the snake, and you should be good.

Also, now is a good time to consider if you want to feed live or if pre-killed or frozen/thawed is better. Personally I am going frozen/thawed. There are lots of threads about these options on the husbandry forums. I hope this helps!
