hey all, i am a first time snake owner and have had my cali banded king for around 7 months now, she can't be more than 8 months old. I found this site a few months back and think its the best kingsnake forum there is!
I have been feeding Oreo two or three frozen pinkie mice all at once just once a week, but I was curious as to whether or not I should move up to bigger mice? She is around 20 inches long and about as fat around as a sharpie at her middle. She can handle two or three pinkie mice just fine, but is this the best way to feed her?

| If she's taking 3 pinks OK, and has been regularly I'd say you could move her to the next size up. If you get your food from a shop ask to see the next size up, and pick some of the smaller ones to see if she handles them OK. |

| I agree with Headlow, it does sound like the next size up will be fine. I have an Arizona mountain king who is not much thicker than a pencil but she can handle a fuzzy each week |

| thanks guys, as soon as she finishes these last 8 or so pinkies i'll get a fuzzy to try. Fuzzies are the next size up from pinkies right? |

| Yea, though I sometimes can't get them, and just pick out the smallest fluffs they have. There's not too much of a difference. Recently I also got hold of some crawlers too, and they are perfect for my MBK at the moment. |
