Default what size?

what size mouse would you feed to an adult G rosea? if you would at all.

I was talking to someone I know in the playground waiting for the kids to come out of school and he said that he'd just fed his a mouse of the size that I feed my 07 Royal!!!

It took it a day and a half to eat it.
I'd have thought a pink would be plenty big enough if not too much?

If you would like to feed your T with a large mouse, keep in mind that It takes a few days to eat (as mentioned before)...and the smell can be serious!!!!
I recommend a couple of days old rats. Personally I don't like to feed with live rodents. Some people feed Ts with fish (I feed my scolos with fish sometimes )

My gravid T's only get F/T mice. All I do is wiggle them in front of the T and BANG!
