When should you step up from fuzzies when the snake is a baby? My snake is now about 16-18 inches long. Whats the next size of mouse to use?

...after 3-4 large fuzzies you can start with hoppers (just weaned), then gradually increase meal size every 3-4 meals. Fed every 3-4 days most of my females reach about 1000 gm (2.2 lbs) at one year. SJM

Yours should be eating a weaned mouse by now.

All three hatchlings I've had, I just get the smallest adult mouse I can. Never had a problem with them not getting down or regurg, so.
