: : I have about a four-foot long gray rat. A guy at the pet shop said three mice a week, but that seems a lot. Anybody know about what and how often to feed him?

: i'm not an expert but three mice a week seem like way too much for a four foot snake. have you tried feeding the snake yet. i think that one a week would be plenty, you can really go less than that. i would call a local vet or diff pet store and get a second opinion. it would be much safer to let the snake be a little hungry than to feed it too much, it will eat all you give it but will start to regurgitate. good luck.

Just to let everybody know, it's at least two inches in diameter too-don't want to underfeed it
