Re: Cal King advice

That snake is definitely able to eat an adult mouse. Its growing, and will do so based on how much food you give it. While there is no need to power feed it, its also probably small for its age based on the limited food. Colubrids generally have a higher metabolism than their thicker cousins. Give it an adult mouse per week and watch it grow

^^^^^these. If your snake gets fat .....feed less. But I doubt it will.
