Feeding question

So I've had Scooter now for about 3 or 4 weeks and he is doing great. He has eaten 3 times already. I've been feeding him hoppers, which seem to be a perfect size for him right now. I measured him the other day and he's about 32-34 inches long. Approximately when do you think I should move him up to adult mice?

Generally, the prey item should be at least the width of the width of the snake, and no more than two times the width of the snake at its widest part. Also, if you know the weight of the snake that helps a lot, that way you can follow the Munson Feeding Plan.

-When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 5-6 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 6-7 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+) See below.

Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Adult females are fed every 7-12 days; adult males are fed every 11-14 days.

This is by no means scientific, and not all corns will cooperate 100% with the schedule. The weight ranges I gave for the prey and snakes are approximate.

Yeah from Hoppers you should move to weanlings

Sounds like he's ready for weanlings to me.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Unfortunately, my local reptile shop doesn't sell weanlings. I asked them what the next size up was from hoppers and they told me adults. :shrugs:

I guess I'm going to have to try to order some online.
