Ok stupid question time. I have seen this one more and more, but am still going to ask...



I have hatchlings and am wondering about size of the food item. I know it is supposed to be equal to the width of the snake, but I am so afraid I wont give something small enough, or big enough. I was checking out hoppers and they just seem so small, but rat pups look way to big.



What is the norm for hatchlings?



Stephanie
