150g? That seems pretty big! I will offer an adult mouse. I personally think he'll be just fine.

He is an almost five foot approx six year old adult and he only gets one every three to four weeks, sometimes longer if he starts bulking up.

Re: is my corn snake ready for bigger mice?

Are you not going to PetsMart because of the Ball python thing? Because a frozen mouse is a frozen mouse....the hour by car thing is a diff issue entirely. ANYTHING that PetsMart says about reptiles should be considered as sketchy. However, if all you're doing is buying Arctic Mice....It's all about working smarter, not harder.

If it's a different issue, then disregard the above

Goto this website FaunaClassifieds Home Page

Look up rodent suppliers and find one in your area. Do not buy mice from petsmart.

Why are you feeding a ball python mice?

Re: is my corn snake ready for bigger mice?

How many threads can this kid make in one day?

First- switch python to rat pups

Second- Feed the corn snake adults if it's big enough. Hell feed it a rat. Idc

Third- Stop trolling the pet store. They don't know how to sex them. So what? Buy a ball from a effing real reputable breeder.

Fourth- You should have just one thread where all of these sub-threads go.

He was fat when we got him but not any more, he is solid muscle.

The guy previous was feeding him three adult mice every week and he had fat deposits easily visible, they are now gone but wwe keep an eye on him

No. They are one of the more expensive pet stores to buy rodents from here. Thats why I'd rather not buy from them.

In general, snakes are capable of taking items much wider than themselves. I'd say go for it!
