Re: New owner
Mouse pinkies are too small for any BCI, hopper mice (or fuzzy mice for extra small juvi BCI) are good size for most small BCI. If pinkies are fed they should be ratsto get an accurate size comparison stretch out the dead rodent, then compare girth to the biggest part of the snake. looking at the live rodents will make them seem quite a bit bigger than they actully are because the are all "balled" up. -Juggalo

Hi,
Welcome,, you may want to review that care sheet clay posted
that deals with food types and size.. its a good one, I have a short cut to it under my favorites, read that post and you'll be a pro in no time
[ftp]http://www.redtailboas.com/carelinks/carelinks.html[/ftp]
food source should be slightly larger than the widest portion or girth of the snake
here's some rats that show the size options this varies from pet store to petstore that why I order on line from reptuable rat breeders. picture from clays care sheets
here's Samuel eating his first just weined rat, the snakes about 8 mos, the lump you see was gone in two days.
can you say slurp????
Good luck They are sweet animals
