I work at a nature center and we have adult black ratsnakes (probably anywhere from 5-6 feet) all roughly 850-900 grams. I’m trying to figure out an appropriate feeder size. They are currently in small mice (multiple per feeding) but I’d rather go the bigger meal less frequently route. I ordered xl mice and rat pups both equalling 30-45 grams each. Is this suitable? If I feed two of the rat pups or two of the xl mice per feeding (every 10-14 days)
You can probably do one of the new feeder sizes each week if you wanted to avoid doing the two at each meal.
General rule is to go with a feeder that is slightly larger than the snake is around the widest point.
I haven’t really worked with adult colubrids in a while so I’ll tag in a few of the ones I know have experience with them
