I generally avoid using mice as feeders for anything but neonates. At that size I’d probably go with weaned-small rats and see how what kinda lump they make.

hey for the safety of your snake, have you ever tried to feed pre-killed, and that also helps him not to associate moving things"you hand" with food. and no a mouse or a rat is not gona kill your snake but it can bit and scare really bad, and it could get infected and yes that could kill you snake. just my 2 sens.

I’ve never been successful when I’ve tried before feeding him frozen thawed mice, today is the when i feed him so I will try a weaned-small rat.
thanks for your help!

My male yellow is about 3.5 -4 ft. and he eats 3 or 4 small rats once a week. I was giving him a medium but the guy that supplies me couldn’t get them for a while. 1 mouse is not enough at all. Also mine has no problem eating anything. Alive, dead, rat, quail, guinnee pig.
