Too Big?
I think this is a medium rat. Please don't ask a weight on it, not sure, and I got it like a month ago with my usual feeders. Not sure if he's ready for it yet or not....

Re: Too Big?
It should be fine, they prey item can be a bit bigger than the biggest part of the snake, from what ive read.

Re: Too Big?
I personally wouldn't feed it, but I'm more conservative with my animals. I don't even feed my 1380 gram ball mediums.
I'm sure it could get it down, and it's just one meal, so it should be fine.

Re: Too Big?
Definitely on the large side, however I'd bet that he could take it. I wouldn't consistently feed him prey that large, but one time wouldn't hurt. If it really is too big, then he won't eat it.

Re: Too Big?
He can take that fine. I wouldn't make feeding something that size a normal thing, but the occasional oversized(within reason) meal is fine.

Re: Too Big?
He's on a bi-weekly schedule now along with my female hoggies, and my male hoggies have officially gone on winter strike.so that onlu leaves Amara and Persephone on a weekly feeding now. And Persephone is actually fed twice a week.
Might actually save some $ on feeders for a while XD

Re: Too Big?
It should be fine. Just like a few others have mentioned don't feed it like that alot. It makes it harder on the snake. I feed mine the size under a medium.
