tis small indeed! lol
The main reason is because there is a lot more muscle and bone, more nutrients. A snake wont get fat if its fed properly. Rats would only need to be fed every 10-14 days, whereas a mouse or 2 every week.
Once the snake is adult and not growing so much then yes, mice are fine as its maintenance feeding rather than growth feeding.
Over weight snakes tend to have been powerfed, and kept in small enclosures, without the chance to excercise regularly.
I had a corn that was slightly overweight, she hadnt touched a rat ever, but she had a good set of hips on her!! |
