Posted - 27/08/2011 : 23:07:34 My corn is currently on medium mice, they go down very easy and barely leave a bulge ... Do you think its time to go on large mice |

Posted - 28/08/2011 : 19:33:12 the mediums go down very easily now, he has been on them for about 6 months. Would it be worth feeding him a large less often than I would with a medium or does that defeat the object? |

Posted - 28/08/2011 : 15:40:25 It does depend on how big your snake is. As hatchlings the leaving a bump bit is handy but once they hit adult size its not that simple, for example a snake verging on overweight could eat a large mouse and leave not much of a bump but it doesn't need to go up a size that would just make a fat snake even fatter. |

Posted - 27/08/2011 : 23:20:13 Thanks ... I'll buy a large this week and see how it goes, he is swallowing the mediums so fast, last week he swallowed it in about 30 secs :) |
