I have had to up the size of the mouse that i feed to my 7 month Honduran Tangerine milk snake.I was feeding him fuzzy mice but i ended up feeding him 2 mice ago twice a week and it still was not enough.He was not constricting the fuzzy mice no more he was just eating them like they where snacks.He ate the small mice with no problems, he had a good lump in belly yet with the smaller mice they was not even a slight lump when i fed him with one of them.So all in all this was a good decision i was a little worried that this new size mouse might caus problems caus i could not get a accurate measurment of my snakes width but he was fine a little fat but fine.

nice one the feed, as for the correct size I wouldn't worry about accurate measurements just judge it by eye it is good enough.

9.6 Corns, 1.0 Bci, 2.1 Royals, 1.1 king snakes, 0.0.1 milksnake, 1.1 black rat snakes, 1.2 Beardies, 1.0 shovelface
