As far as feeding, my snakes are all over the place. I have a now 1500g+ spider female who wouldn't eat consistently on rats but thrives on mice. I have 4000g females who won't touch anything bigger then a small to small/medium rat. I have a het albino female ( grumbles and turns red ) who will not eat consistently no matter what I give her. All that being said, I am a firm believer that if a snake is going to be a pet and is not needed for a breeding project then why not get a baby. Balls, if fed right and eating consistently can get large fairly quickly. I have a het pied female that was purchased last august who is over 900g right now. My personal opinion is if it is a pet, why not enjoy it from young and enjoy the transformation and growth process.
