Hi Guys! I have been researching Leucistic Texas Rat's for weeks and i think ive exhausted all of the information the internet has to offer. But i cant find what size mouse i should feed to a leucistic T. rat. Anybody know what size mouse(fuzzy, pinkie,... or rat a Baby L. T. Rat should eat? How about a Juvenile Rat Snkae? And finally an adult? Thanks guys!

I would feed a baby Texas rat a pinky mouse, and this goes all the way up to about a small adult rat for most adult Texas rats. If there are any Texans as big as my gray, then they could easily take down a medium rat. All you need to do is follow the girth rule. The girth of the rat should be equal to about 1.5 times the girth of the snake at its widest point.
