I'm feeding my hatchling blue gts on pinkie mice a little bigger than that and it's tiny as.That bigger one as duga said could easily take a much bigger food item,you'll be surprised at what sized food item they can take

Would love to check out some of your reptile related jewelery Bouncer,i haven't seen anything around for ages that i like at all.

I have a couple of 4 month old Coastal & Darwin Carpets eating small mice and small adult mice. They scoff them down with ease.

Pinkies are only for new hatchlings. They really can eat bigger food items than your giving them, you would be supprised.

I have a couple of tiny maccies that are eating pink rats, I wasn't sure if they would get them down, but they did.

RE: Feeding size

My Bredli took Fuzzy rats as their first feeds.
My Water pythons took weaner rats as their 3rd feeds.
It is amazing what they can eat.
Both Bredli and Waters could get the food item down in less than 10 minutes.
