Without seeing the snake i couldnt say what i would feed it. But at about three foot i would think it would need larger than fluffs.
You say it a year old do you mean that its a 2007 hatchling??
My 07 hatchlings are on from medium mice to large mice. My 08's are on from pinkies to 2 large fluffs, all depending on the size of the snake. Thet all grow at different rates so fed different quantities. |

| Mine has been on Medium mice for a while, but as Paul says, without seeing the snake its hard to give you an answer. Its all about the girth. |

| talking of girth, the prey item should be no larger than 1.5 x the girth of the snake at the widest point |
