feeder girth comparison

Here's (hopefully) some more inspiration for feeding large prey items. A picture of Trinity taking down a large adult mouse like it was candy.

good job bro, the color helps show how much skin shows between the scale much better than the charcoals, thanks for the help.

All my guys and girls eat large and will readily switch back and forth between mice and rats, either F/T or F/K, every 5-7 days. Sometimes you gotta wonder if you are gonna have to clean up a regurge in a couple of days, but they just keep on amazing me with the amount and size of the food they chow down. Time to go feed the mice and rats..(if they only knew what was in store for them) If you wanna grown them big you gotta feed em big..

dont know if i'm digging this thread up again, but i'm starting to get a little tierd of telling people how much they should feed there baby snakes (im not gonna stop) but it seems a lot of ppl really have been mis informed about this, from where ever they bought there snakes from.
My cal king is nearly 7 years old and quite under sized (4-1/2') and i'm feeding him every 4-6 days (depending on the size of the prey) and i'm making dam sure hes getting over fed. I've been at this for ages and ages and he still doesnt look in the slightest bit fat! But he is shedding his skin once a month, and shows no sign of slowing down
My point is, that i'm always hearing and reading that ppl are worried about over feeding ther snake, but imho as long as the snake is active and not full grown, it just dosnt happen.
(In all my days i've only ever seen one obbese snake and it was a corn that was fed 4 mice a week for 4 years, and had a very inactive lifstye)
SO FEED'EM UP GUYS

we tend to cycle our feeding with what's available from our feeders. some times they get big some times they get small.
