Feeding

[blackcrystal22]

Crystal, can you tell me where you read this?

Hey Beto, you can always see if he'll eat a F/T small rat. They sell those at Petco too. If so, you can mail order more frozen rats which will be the size you're looking for and much cheaper than the elevated petco retail price.

I feel you're pain about the availability of rats. You can see if there's some kind of herp group in your area and surely somebody there will be breeding their own rats.

If you feed him 3 petco mice a week that'll be about 10 bucks, or you can feed him 3 mail order rat pups for about 3 bucks. Unless money isn't an issue...

When I mean feeding multiple food items, I meant feeding the appropriately sized prey (or too large of prey) in multiples, which is a lot to digest. Sometimes too, if the snake decides he wants to constrict it for some reason, it can upset the previously swallowed prey.
Sorry for the confusion.

If you only have the availability of mice, many people feed bps their whole life on multiple mice. Just make sure not to over/underfeed! :]
