Well, hes about 3 1/2 ft long and about 1 1/2 -2 yrs old. I have been feeding him an adult mouse every week but im wondering if its time to increase the size of his food? What do yall think.

My BCI is about 3.5' to 4' and I have been feeding her medium to large rats. I've only had her for about a month but she's been doing pretty good.

Wow, I dont think a medium rat will fit inside my snake. He doesn't seem large enough. Perhaps you have a pic of your snake with like a pencil by him (for size comparison).

This is my 2-1/2 year old. he is 42" and eats 1 med rat every 10-15 days.

Hmm, Well maybe I should post a pic of my snake so yall can tell me if hes big enough for rats. Let me go find some batteries for my cam.

I think it's definitely time to increase the size of your snake's prey. My BCI Blossom is a year old today and already eating medium rats. I would figure her length to be just slightly over three and a half feet. Looking at her you would never think that she could swallow such a large item but she does with no trouble at all. Her name really ought to be "Miss Piggy"...she would eat every day if I would let her..Lol! Right now she eats a medium rat on Wednesday and a rat pup on Sundays. I realize that I am going to get some flak from the forum from the amount I feed her but she is doing extremely well on this schedule and I personally don't believe it to be excessive at all. However, I am ALWAYS open to opinions from others and this forum has been a godsend to me whenever I needed help as a newbie....especially from Hoppy!
