I usually give mine small rats, which are the size above weanling on the www.rodentpro.com scale. They will take from 1-3 of this size.

:Hello all! I'd like to let everyone know that I finally made a decision and got the black milk instead of the mexican milk. He's great! He's puppy dog tame, and about 5 months old. I'm feeding him two fuzzies every six to eight days. I've never been happier with a snake purchase. Thanks for everyone's input and opinions who responded to my questions. After bragging and all, I do have one, final question (yeah right). I saw an adult male black milk that the breeder had, and it was huge! It was over six feet long. The bodies of adult black milks look as though they could sustain a medium rat, but their heads are small. This guy said that he fed his adults rat pups. It seems like it would take a lot of rat pups to fill up a snake of that size. I have read that black milks have deceptively long and powerful jaws, and can take prey up to the size of medium rats with ease. It this true? What do you (any one with an adult black milk) feed yours? Thanks for the help,
