2 1/2 years, some will bulk up their snakes to get to the right weight early,but I waited 2 1/2 and mine weighed 3 lbs,I just mated again and I will feed mine extra to keep the weight on them

Alligater do you find feeding your Hondurans rat pups to make them bigger or mice cause i know your snakes are huge.

to tell you the truth,I feed them what I got,mice are hard to breed and they stink.My small Hondurans are eating hopper mice,which are the same size as pinkie rats.Pinkie rats are 1.50 the same as hopper mice.I have 12 breeder rats and once they get started,I can put 15 pinkies and 30 juvie rats in the freezer,It helps because juvie rats are 4 dollars apiece.My boas get 2 apiece,now Scarlets get 2 now ,Fluffy gets 1, Hondo gets 1 or 2 she didn’t mate again this years, she just don’t care for my male and my ball python gets 1 . That’s 10 between 7 to 15 day and 5 pinkies every 5 days.I got a another 20 juvies to put down again next batch I’ll freeze pinkies
