Hey guys, me again.
So I weighed Ess for the first time in months and he's now 107g and 18 months old. Ought I be feeding fuzzies still or should I move up to small mice. There's still a slight bulge where he's eaten, though it's not large.
Cheers |

Snakes are like all living creatures, they all grow differently. Some are naturally big and others are of a small build. It may be that your snake is always going to be smaller than some others.
You could try feeding him double and if he takes both, without any problems, then try the next size up.
There are no hard and fast rules about general feeding other than avoid giving him anything bigger than 1.5 his widest part and leave for 48 hours to digest.
If you think he's ready for doubles go for it! 
Edit to add that following a regurge it's a good idea to leave for 10 days before trying to feed again. It may also be beneficial not to handle during that time. Some owners choose to use a smaller mouse for the next couple of feeds after a regurge to allow the snake's stomach to fully recover. |
