My hobby hondo is over 4ft now, and about as big around as a big marker. The last weight I have for him was around 600g.

I've tried to keep single prey items up in size along with his growth, but it seems like he doesn't go for mice in the 25-35g range. Instead he prefers two smaller mice. Just today I offered him a 32g f/t mouse, he bit it, and let go, and crawled around it a few times. I then put in an 18g and a 15g mouse, and he ate both no problem.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Once he gets to full size, what amount of weight would you feed? I'm thinking about moving him and my corns from weekly to every two weeks. Any thoughts, advice, comments are welcome.

Thank you.
