[Trollbie]

He's still a baby :D

He was on fuzzies before, they just never had any frozen and I wasn't gonna feed live, so I had to feed pinks

[Trent]

Nice pics!!

[Kingsnakechris]

Lol he's still a baby for now! Haha

[millertime89]

He's gonna start putting on some size now! I remember when Nero took his first, seems like so long ago.

[Snakesitter]

Sigh. Next thing you know he'll be dating.

[Trollbie]

Sigh. Next thing you know he'll be dating.

He's already too interested in tequila bottles :(

[alessia55]

Just make sure you give him the sex talk... Safety first!

[Trollbie]

Yeah. One condom isn't enough either...

[GarterPython]

Its amazing how the topic can change......

[Norm66]

Topic drift. It's fun. ;)

Good feeding pics.

[Kingsnakechris]

Lol way to bring it back norm! We almost had a condom discussion on our hands. Lol!
But yes, those are some great feeding pics..

[Trollbie]

[millertime89]

wait until you up his food size again, it'll look like he's got a little brick in him!

So is going from fuzzie to rat pink actually upsizing?

[Trollbie]

Also, should I get a scale?

[millertime89]

So is going from fuzzie to rat pink actually upsizing?

for sure, just not as drastic a change as going from some of the bigger sizes to the next. They can be close in weight, or they can be far apart.

Also, should I get a scale?

I would, 20 bucks and its nice to keep track of various weighs. Not near as much fun as a temp gun.

[exwizard]

So is going from fuzzie to rat pink actually upsizing?The size is close but rat pinks are slightly bigger than mouse fuzzies. (3-8g)

Its always great to have a gram scale handy, to answer your other question.

[Trollbie]

A pinkie weighs between 3-8g while a fuzzy weighs between 9-19g, so Id say its the other way around.

mouse pinkie and rat pinkie?

Sorry, I misunderstood your question and before being able to fix my reply you already responded to the original reply.

If Zeus was able to take that fuzzy as I see that he could, I would stick with that for now. It did leave a little bulge and thats fine. Keep an eye on his girth and judge for yourself when the next best time for an upgrade is. I would also like to say, from someone who breeds both rats and mice, get him to rats ASAP. They are much more satisfying and there is much more to them than mice. With BRBs its not so much of an issue but Ive heard horror stories about how some snakes are stuck on mice even when they get a little size on them. The sooner you get him switched to rats the easier it will be to do so.

[Snakesitter]

^^^ Win! ^^^

[Snakesitter]

ExWizard is right. I know someone who had a snake that insisted no rats. Which seems fine, until you realize it was a fully adult boa constrictor. The poor guy had to buy like 25 mice at one sitting....

[Snakesitter]

That rule, while I understand why it exists, nearly had me pulling my hair out last night....

[Trollbie]

Well I'm doing fuzzies for 4-5 feedings and then switching to rat pinks. That has been the plan all along :D

[exwizard]

I think youre doing great :)

[Trollbie]

Thank you :D I love my baby!

I HATE THAT RULE!

and I think that feeding plan is what I did with Nero. He took to rats on the first attempt too, I was ecstatic. Here's hoping Zeus does it for you!
