help- what sized mouse?

[steevo]

I brought some mice from the pet shop. asked for half-grown mice and got 10 mice ranging from half-grown thru to big fat adults. I have a stimsons. My snake is about 80cm long and about size of 20c peice at thickest point. Do you think He'll handle a fat full-grown mouse?

Incase you are wondering, I did post this question a few days ago but got no replies.

Most of us newbies are probably aware that some of our questions sound fairly dorkish but it doesnt hurt to ask and better safe than sorry aye?

Thanks guys

well... my little MD baby, about 650mm in length, has just eaten a small adult mouse and had seemingly no problems at all with it... and she is not that round at her thickest point.

i'd say you should be ok

mines about as thick as a 50cent and it eats half grown rats

They can eat something about 3 times as wide as their head I've found, give it a try, at worst, it will spit it back out.

id get it onto rat's asap as there more nutritional for snake's and its a real hard time converting them over the older they eat
