Oscar's taking large mice fine with hardly a bump :) so i will be trying him on jumbos/extra large (same thing yeah?) next.

He's currently been on a large mouse a week, with an extra large how often should i feed? 10days? 12? I had a look at the munson (?) plan, but it only seemed to go up to large.

Also, i know that snakes never stop growing, just the rate slows down as time goes on, but roughly when would you say they are 'fully' grown? Just out of interest really.

Cheers guys

I've always thought 3 years was when they are all 'grown up'.

The other thing I like to do is weigh the mice I'm feeding.. IMO If the new mice are 2x the weight of the old ones then feed 1/2 (or 1/3) as often.
