The general rule is they should be fed a mouse that's one and a half times the size of the widest part of the snake. Feed every 7-10 days and just one mouse each feed. |

Hi dont know if this is of any help but theese are the sizes up to small mice as bought from my local supllier if i buy from other places the sizes do vary a lil so its probably best to find one decent regular supplier and stick with it so you know what sizes to expect A = Pinkies B = Large pinkies C = Fuzzie D = Hopper E = small mouse |

oopsie Actually i think E might actually be a large mouse but you get the rough idea for fuzzie/hopper size at least |
