We've been feeding our BP (appx. 3.5' long and about 2" around at his widest point) a small (about 60g) rat once per week. He gobbles it right down and then appears to still be hungry. I went to PetCo (our only local source for larger rats) and found a 'medium' size rate (100g) and about 1.5" around. My DH is worried that this rat is too big for our guy but I think the prey is appropriately sized. I don't feel like he's getting enough with the small rat (there is no discernable bump in his body after feeding). At night when we are in the room with him he will sit with his head out of the hide watching us, it's pretty funny actually, but I think he's hungry. What are your thoughts on the prey size/feeding schedule? He's been eating once per week like clockwork but I just don't want to underfeed him. Thanks, in advance, for the advice!
