Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Jungle Carpet Python feeding?
Hey guys, I'm picking up a JCP later today.
The guy says the snake is 6 months old and is eating XL adult mice. When can I switch him to rats, and what size rats? Just trying to plan ahead a little bit. 
Thanks!

Why wait? If you want him on rats, start feeding him rats.
You may find it easier to gauge his feeding response before trying to switch (considering the new environment, and all).

If he's eating XL adult mice then you'd probably want to look at rat pups or weaned rats, something that is very close in size.
For instance, Big Cheese jumbo mice are 30-50grams; so from them a similar size rat would be the weaned rat at 35-49grams.

Yeah, I planned to get him one or two of the mice he's currently eating and storing them with comparable rats for scenting. He might start taking them easier that way. I just want to make sure he eats when he's ready to.
Thanks for the help! I might pick up some weaned rats too then. I have a local supplier I can buy from as well so that helps a lot as far as looking at them and comparing size in person.
