Re: Princess updates
Nice feed. When do you plan on super sizing her meals?

Re: Princess updates
Why would you ask me that? I just give them whatever size looks right......or whatever I have on hand. Kota wasn't very impressed when I gave him 6 hoppers and three mice.

Re: Princess updates
Me personally, as soon as the snake is ready for a bigger meal i just jump them up a size or even two, my BP goes for rats 1.5 times its girth with no issues (even tho the rat looks like it is about 4 times the size of that skinny bit of neck just behind the head)

Re: Princess updates
I think it takes a while to get used to how much a snake can stretch to get a meal down. I know it does for me.

Re: Princess updates
Swany, looks like Princess can definitely go up a size. I certainly have never waited a month to do so with my babies. I bought a mixed bag of different sized rats for Pika and I just go giving him what seems appropriate for his size. Feed her one big one rather than two small ones. Looking good though!!
