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.

Largest prey a 3 Ft Rosy can eat?
What is the largest prey a 3 Ft Rosy can eat? Can a 3 footer eat a large mouse? Or do they have to stick with small to medium sized rat pups for life?

It can eat adult mice. I don't know if it will, since you have been feeding rats.
Rats and mice have different scents, and it might not realize that the mouse is food.
It could eat it though, size wise.

I've got a newly aquired Adult female San Gabriels that will eat nothing but small to medium ADULT rats. She's a monster, 39 inches. I didn't really believe the guy I bought her from when he told me that she was that big and ate adult rats, so I about fell over when I opened up the box she was shipped in!
Just thought I'd put in my $0.02
I'll try to post a pic.
Take care
Scott

Wow, she is huge!
I'd bet she would throw some super babies, must be fun having such a large rosy.
I think San Gabriels are the largest species. I know there is one, where it isnt uncommon to see one of that size.
And this proves a point, it's hard to give blind advice. It all comes down to judgment.
I mean, small rats are like large adult mice. Different amounts of nutrients, fats, ect... I wont get into pH levels.
But, if it is larger, you obviously feed it larger prey, just as the giant rosy eating medium rats lol.

Now that I'm treating my Rosies for internal parisites, I'm hoping they can finally keep adult mice/large rat pups down.

I wouldn't feed her rats, but she will not take anything else. I tried large adult mice many times, she will not even sniff them, but she hammers rats every time. It would be nice if she would take mice, I've been all over town twice now looking for "just the right size".
Later,
Scott

Pro Breeder has them, and I want some. They not only are beautiful snakes, but quite commonly reach up around 4 ft! That is just a cool rosy to have around.
