    Re: small rat?

    do not feed it anything bigger than the thinkest part of your snake.
    you could feed it pinkie or fuzzy rats if you can get them.

    possibly, but would still probably be sexually immature

    A pink would be wayyyy to small, definitely a rat pup at this point, small rats can ironically be pretty big.

    Its possible but I would think you would only get 1000 grams max on of her in a year with regular feeding (assuming she is a great feeder)
