One small mouse doesn't leave a bump at all on my DK, but two leaves a huge one. I think I'll see if my local shop stocks medium mice and go for one of something in between.

My king is almost 3 years old, Florida King, and is on 2 x/s rats and a couple of rat pups every other week. I will try him on small rat in a couple of weeks, nothing else.

I would suggest you move him to at least an x/s rat and maybe try a couple every other week. I feel that you need to see what he likes and just make sure that he is not getting fat.

I weigh my snake every 3 months.

My 6 year old gets 1 large mouse every 14 days, otherwise he becomes a porker and if I feed every week, he turns his nose up, most unkingly king ever. The bump thing kinda becomes pointless once they are nearing adult age imo otherwise you would end up getting a fat snake!



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
