Re: Baby feeding questions

Once a week would be fine, thats the feeding schedule I use with hatchlings and have had great results. I would go with a fuzzy rat over a rat pup. He wouldnt have an issue with the pup, but I personally would have the first couple of meals not be huge. If you are getting him tomorrow, make sure you wait a few days to a week before trying to feed him. Shipping and going into a new environment are stressful on a snake, making them usually not want to eat right away.

Thanks, for the advice, as I'm new to the snake game. I've always been a lizard guy (especially chameleons). So I have lots of experience with the more complex aspects of husbandry, but there are a few snake fundamentals I need to learn more about.
