>>2) For your size king. I would feed small adult mice. You know, the young ones. Not weanings!



Remember Rainer....This is not just the L. g. floridana forum.....or the getula forum.....

If this "kingsnake" she is speaking of is a Pyro, Knoblochi, Zonata, Alterna, Mexicana, Ruthveni, Thayeri, Greeri or Calligaster it will not eat that big of a meal......

Most getula emerge from the egg at 12" in length......
I have a hard time believing a 12" Floridana hatchling or any getula hatchling will eat a small adult mouse......

Maybe after a few months of fuzzy, crawler then weanling feeding it will.....
