And they look huuuuuuge, but they dont look too thick compared to the widest part of him so they should be ok. He weighs 74g and the smallest looking one frozen weighed 12g will this definitely be ok?
Can u tell im paranoid? lol

But i must say, i ordered them online yesterday and they turned up at 10.30 this morning still fully frozen apart from the ears and ends of the tails, and they look very good quality. Very impressed.

when i first got 8 some small mice they looked huge! he managed fine although it was very daunting watching him eat it! If they are no more than 1 1/2 the widest part of his body he'll be fine. think moving up prey sizes is more daunting for us than them :-)

I've done the whole "Bloody Hell. That looks too big!" thing with all my snakes. From feeding Plissken when I got him, to feeding Aguna and Iara their first pinks. Trevor will be fine with them!

Glad they were still fully frozen Sounds like he'll be okay with them but it is scary moving up a size.

Thanks for all the advice guys, he's all fed and it went well! He struggled a little bit with the front legs but apart from that he was fine
