those of you that saw my previous pick of my approx 1 yr old hondo. does it look big enough for regular mice or should i keep him on hoppers?

Hope I saw the right pick, but there should be no problem with the Hond. eating small mice... Observe the feeding just incase, but once again, there should be no problems.
I have always been amazed what a Lampro can get down....

We usually try a meal or two of a couple hoppers before switching to adults, but yours looks large enough to handle adult mice from the photos. We have some milks that readily take adult mice by this size, but others that seem reluctant to try taking on bigger prey - but seems to me it would be worth trying an adult mouse (similar sized rat might be even better - seem to get better growth from feeding rats).

Unless you've got tiny hands( :D ), he should be able to handle an adult mouse...
