Josh,
....Pinky mice are great food for baby Milksnakes. Baby Rainbow Boas have mouths that can stretch around enormous meals. I feed my new baby BRBs hopper mice and pinky rats that weigh more than 5 or 6 pinky mice. If your store has small adult mice try one of them. The snake can easily eat even a jumbo mouse but there is increased risk of regurgitation if you go any larger than small adult mice.

>>My local petstore isn't carrying hoppers or pinky rats, so I substitute with 2 pinkies. Two pinkies equal about a hopper right? So feeding her two pinkies a week should be about right. She's 5 weeks old now. Don't have a scale or I would give you a current weight. Now I'm not so worried about the poop. Heck, if they made pets that didn't poop I'd be all over them.
