• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

Is it safe to feed a 32 inch ball python a f/t small rat? There is quite a jump between a large mouse and a small rat with nothing in between. It seems like the small rat is about wide as the snake (1.5 inches) or slightly larger. Any help from someone with experience would be appreciated.
 
Sounds like it would be fine, based off the description of girth. Length has a lot less importance when choosing food size. You just don't want to create such a lump that the snake cannot coil/ball-up normally with rat in it's belly.
 
I agree with Matt, that prey size sounds fine. In my experience, they won't usually eat it if its too big. However, if you want you could always go to rat pups first if you are worried about it.
