Hey mate,

the food should be roughly 5-20%of the body weight of the snake

So move up to fuzzies, the food item should put a lump in them

I would move it into an large enclosure that you shouldnt have to change

Something like a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft glass tank, like old fish tank, or get something made in wood

Oh yeah and you dont need to bump your thread after one minute

I'd go a packet of fuzzies then move him onto a packet of hoppers.

Hey,

My blonde macs(spotted pythons) are on hoppers and they are coming up to a year old in the next week or so. MIne are about 60cm but. Both the male and female take down hoppers easy and it leaves a decent bump in the snake.

I think a 4x2x2 fish tank is too big for a snake of this size. Mine are in a click clack atm still and i will be putting them into a 2ftx2ft soon.
