Hi folks,
I recently picked up a hatchling P. d. jani from a friend of mine (her first jani clutch) currently weighing in at just under 24g. I've done my homework on this species, plus my friend's advice, so I'm cautious about temps, overfeeding (right now on 1 pink per week), etc.

Still, I'd like to know where the upper limit is for food size - I don't want to push it, but if it could eat a little more food w/o regurgitation or other problems, I'd hate to be underfeeding! Has anyone ever put together a feeding weight chart based on size (snout-vent length, weight, etc.) for this species? Other pits? Something like what has been done for corns:

Any anecdotal evidence of food weight, snake size that was associated with regurgitation?

Thanks for the input,
-Paul
