Food size and amount for Childrens pythons

[advancedservers]

Hi everyone,

just picked up my childrens python today. The guy I got him from said he eats 2 weaner mice a week.

I went to get some weaner mice today but all I could get were hopper mice.

So my question is do I feed him 2 hopper mice or just the one.

thanks

Ben

See if he'll take the second one after he's had the first......I guess !!!

i think hoppers are smaller than weaners ..... so there for it should handle two no issues

Is sometimes a good idea to let a new addition settle in for a week or two before a feed. If he is comfortable with his hide, he'll tuck himself away after the first if he's had enough, but hang around for seconds if he has the room...

I don't think I touched my baby for about a month when I first got him....he was a yearling Stimmie at the time, he'll be 3 in March.

Just try...cant hurt if it refuses and least you will know for future reference.
