He Ate Two!

Alice has been growing like a weed on one "large" mouse every 6 days. The minimum pickup at Big Cheese was 50, 25 of which had to be large. They ranged in size from 16 to 27 g. I decided it was time to try two since Alice currently weighs in at 373 g. I thawed out two that totaled 37 g and he took them just fine! Now I can finish off the rest of the larges and move on to the jumbos.

For sake of comparison, my lil fella eats mice up to 25g with no problems and he only weighs about 130grams right now. Yours then must certainly be ready for the larger ones.

I know...I wish I knew someone else with a younger snake to give the rest of the smaller mice to, but I have no snake friends so I guess I'll just keep feeding him two of those at a time until they are gone. Hate to waste a few good mice!

Hmmm...maybe I should get a new baby snake!

I can't verify whether it's accurate, but I've seen reports of people feeding up to 4 mice at a time with no ill effects. If I were you I'd do exactly what you are and just feed more than 1 to get the job done.
