i'm sure he'll be fine as long as the small is no more than 1 1/2 times the width of the thickest part of your snake |

It is terrifying when you first move them up to mice that are so many times larger than their head. but they relish the challenge. lol. |

If hes swallowing the mouse with no effort and hardly any or no bulge definatly move up, you will be surprised how big a prey that can actually fit in sometimes. |

I know the feeling, I've recently moved my teeny tiny butter with the kinked neck up to fluffs, I was sooo worried it would hurt him, as he has to work hard enough to get pinks past the kink, but nope, he inhales them no trouble lol! |

Having this dilema , mine will take a fluff in a few seconds but dont seem anywhere big enough for small mice , was thinking of feeding a fluff and a pinkie just to add bulk before moving up.

I've been feeding Falco on 2 x fuzzies for the last 4-5 weeks or so. The difference from fuzzie to small seems huge, but think he's almost ready now too |
