on your Sonaloan and for getting her a larger enclosure and for seemingly doing a little research of your own in regards to assuring her a proper temperature range.



I am going to assume though when you say pinkies you mean pinkie mice and when you say fuzzies you're thinking fuzzy mice... go with pinkie rats instead... they average twice (and more) the size of pinkie mice and most folks here would say your snakes get "more bang for the buck" on rats.



Most would also argue that a single fuzzy mouse or larger pinkie rat is not enough. I currently have three milks that are less than a year old eating four pinkie rats each and every week... I gauge how often to feed them based on how they react to their last feeding... if they take the rat in a manner that makes me fear for my life I'll offer a meal every other day... if they eat but seem disinterested in doing so I'll hold off the next meal to 3 or 4 days... once a week with a fuzzy mouse or pinkie rat is just not enough for your growing baby.



Congrats again and hope you have many years together.



Gerry
