Baby feeding questions

Turns out, the only local place that sells live rodents at feeder prices doesn't have rats smaller than pups. So it looks like he will stay on mice for a bit.

You can't order rats online?

Wouldn't that be kind of pricey considering that this is my only snake and I visit that pet store about weekly for crickets for my chameleon and geckos?

Didn't know.

Anyway, at this size, do you think he can handle a hopper or just fuzzies?

I would go with fuzzies. Hoppers might be a bit big. That is what my 8-month old jungle eats. I have an Irian Jaya carpet about the same size as yours and it is currently on fuzzies, which leave a nice bulge after feeding.

Yeah, i got 2 fuzzies and put him in a small shoebox with one. They are the perfect size, but he would have nothing to do with them. So I put him back in his tank and i fed it to one of my leopard geckos, but I still have the extra one.
