Re: Food size

When is your next expo?

I would go to a local pet store and buy the sizes you are thinking of and try it. If it works you can then buy that size at the next expo.

Remember if the prey is too big the snake probably won't even try to eat it.

Scott Smith's All Animal Expo - twice a month about 39 minutes south of me. Just a local show.

Next big one is Repticon this summer. I should be all good and seriously broke by then.

I've got a feeling I've been trying to feed too large. I tried small rats with the Mad Boas, but they didn't eat until the live hoppers. I think this week, I'll try stunned hoppers for them, but soon need to get them over to rats also.

With the BRB's I never seem to guesstimate their size well when choosing their food. I know they can eat a bit larger items, but rat pups just look too big to my. I know they could each do 2 pinks, so it's time to move up. The next size is rat pup, correct?
