Too big?

[hondo-dan]

I've had Bo on small hoppers/large fuzzies for a couple weeks now abd he's handled them fine. I got one today that I'm concerned may have been a bit to big. He got it down but it took a about 10-15 min. and definitely left a good lump in his belly. The question is, if he can get it down and doesn't regurgitate, is it possible it's still to big, possibly causing undue stress?

No should be ok from the look of the pic here. Its big but dosent look too big should be fine. beautiful snake btw.

Damn he is looking good Dan! I am a big fan of feeding several, smaller prey items at each feeding versus one large one. Thank you for posting pics!

Wow, what a beautiful snake! Prey size looks fine to me. Usual rule of thumb is 1 to 1.5 times the widest part of your snake.

Thanks for responses and compliments. He has been growing great. I had been feeding him a couple smaller mice but my lps has been lacking the last couple months in the size I was using. I'll definitely go back to that though.

I totally agree, he's looking great Dan. Prey size looks fine to me too.
