What were they attempting to feed it previously that was ridiculously oversized?

I don't know about mouse size terminology (All the snakes I know take rats) but it was about the size of a medium rat. The poor snake is only around 2 ft long and has no bulk on him what so ever!

I told them the food was too large a while ago, so THEY went and changed it to pups. NOT ME! I wouldn't dream of it. I've got him back on the right diet now - OFF THE PUPS.


Also, the heat mat is now underneath the log.



Harry

Good work dude, sounds like you are making this poor things life much more pleasent. What size prey are you feeding it?

Harry

my royals get big prey items

Since the school had him though, he hadn't taken one large food item, though. I wouldn't had worried if he'd been regularly taking them.
