Upsizing enclosures.

[Ollies_Snakes]

I have a 8 month old sw carpet python and a 2ft wide glass enclosure. The carpet is currently in a click clack but it is looking a little small now do you think it will be fine to upsize into the new enclosure. The snake is about 50cm long if that helps and feeding on fuzzies/hopper mice. And in terms of rats is there a size similar to this mouse size that i can get her chewing on.

Cheers

Rodentfarm fuzzie mice average 5 grams and hoppers 10 grams. Rodentfarm velvet rats average 10 grams and fuzzie rats 15 grams. I would use velvet rats for the change over and then go to fuzzie rats. It is probably best to change to rats before you change cages so only one thing is changing in the animals life at a time. Eventually as an adult Morelia will eat say a couple of hundred grams each week which can equate to quite a few mice, so larger food items are more convenient.
