Question about ordering for the Black Milk folks!

So, after waiting a good 3 months I will finally be getting my black milk snake hatchling! He will be arriving tomorrow morning :D According to his breeder, he's currently eating peach fuzzies, so I have a couple of them waiting in the freezer atm however I would much rather purchase a years worth or so and have them shipped. (We have a whole freezer devoted to raw meat for the dogs, so space is definitely not an issue!)

My question is: How much of each size should I order? I know there are quite a few threads on this in regards to corns... but I have a feeling this guy will be eating much more than the average corn hatchling!

Thanks all! This forum is fantastic... Such valuable information even though I don't have a corn snake :p
 
While I cant say I have a black milk I can say snakes grow at different rates and it all dependa on your snake
 
Here's what my 2010's Thayeri kings ate in the transition between pinkies and small mice. I some cases 2 peach fuzzies were given in an effort to use them up.

Snake #1
17 peach fuzzies
37 regular fuzzies

Snake #2
51 regular fuzzies

Snake #3
6 peach fuzzies
38 regular fuzzies

Snake #4
41 peach fuzzies
17 regular fuzzies

Snake #5
9 peach fuzzies
37 regular fuzzies
 
amandanicole - First I did not keep good records.

So here goes, 50 peach fuzzies if you can order 25 I would. You will end up feeding two and three at a time to use them up. 50 fuzzies - You will end up feeding two and maybe three at a time to use them up. I skipped over the hoppers and went straight to small mice. Because I was feeding three large fuzzies at a time to use up my fuzzies. So, I would say 50 hoppers and then 50 small mice.

In order to use up all the mice you may want to feed 2 times a week. My Black milksnakes seem to be hungry all the time.

I can tell you one thing for sure they grow a lot fast than corn snakes do in length and in girth. My 2010 Black milksnake is about three times the size of my 2010 Corn snake and eats threes more food.

I hope this helped.
 
Thank you!! That is very helpful. Layne Labs has the cheapest shipping for me, so I will be able to order in 25s if need be :) I've definitely heard that these guys are always hungry! I'd take a mouse-o-holic over a picky eater any day. :D
