what sized food?

[brtrude]

i was wondering if someone could help me identify what sizeed mouse my snake should now be eating on meal days.
His last shed was about 28 inches.
Iv been feeding him with two fuzzies on meal days but i dont know wether to move him up to a small mouse?? i dont know. there isnt that much of a lump once he eats his 2 fuzzies these days.
what do you peeps think?

Is your snake 28 inches, or is the shed skin?
It's probally time for hoppers either way, but you should know most of us follow the Munson Plan

the shed skin is 28 inches. Does that meen the snake is 28 inches? or less?

I have heard the skin streches so he's probably a bit less than 28, my corn's last shed was 24 inches but I think she is about 23.

As long as the food item isnt bigger than 1.5 times that of the snakes width, it should be fine.

iv just fed him a small mouse and he handled it fine! Il give him another next friday as well until he can move onto a larger mouse.
thanks again
