Hello everyone I have been around here for a while. Until I found this site I was feeding my male corn who is over 4' Medium sized rats since the adult mice we get in at our store are only about 25g at most. Now i have never weighed the Medium rats yet at work but he never had a problem with them and size wise to girth ratio seemed right(1 1/4ish). My question is looking at the munson plan it says that any snakes over ? (I forget now what it was i just finished reading) should be on adult mice weighing 20-30g. So just wondering what i should be feeding him, since I want to make sure he gets enough but not to much since I don't want him to be over weight. Should i weigh the Medium rats and see how much they weigh. Feed him two of the adult mice at an aprox total weight of 50g or just feed one 25g mouse. I feed about ever 10 days give or take one day. Oh ya almost forgot one important piece of info he currently weighs 519g before feeding tonight.

Mice! They taste so nice!
Personally I feed my adult males on one mouse every 14 days now, or less often if they are in shed or in breeding mode.

A medium rat is probably too much. My adult males get a jumbo mouse from every 7-14 days depending on how large they are.
If he's extra large, which some are, then you could do two mice a feeding. One smaller mouse may not be enough. I'd try two mice every 10 days and see how that goes.
