are the pups still too small for a good meal for the BP? tomorrow is feeding day. if it's not a substantial meal yet i'll just buy a mouse in town for $2.50 and start feeding them next week. don't mind my nails, i can't stop biting them into oblivion, although i'm trying to.

/seeing the pictures side by side, the pup still does look a bit small for the snake.

i would move up a prey size but i would stick with rats

it can be hard to get pythons back onto rats after they eat mice

it will take a lot of mice to feed an adult python so imo its always best to get them on and keep them on rats mate

Defo too small for him at the moment - you would probably need to feed the whole litter to fill him up.
