Just got a chance to measure my little guy last night, kind of hard to keep them straight and still long enough to measure! He came in around 23"- probably more if I could keep him stretched out, but there's too many shiny things around for him to investigate haha.

After hearing about Jango though I think I'm going to go pick up some supers and see how he takes to them. He does enjoy Dubias quite a bit, but will only eat the huge ones... and the colony is too young still to feed him all of the breeders!

Also an opinion, I've been feeding him F/T fuzzy rats... which he swallows like they're nothing, should I move him into hopper mice? I'm still getting a feel for how much he can swallow... though it seems like if I put a small trailer in his bin he'd probably eat that

[QUOTE="Zilch, post: 54262, member: 491"] Just got a chance to measure my little guy last night, kind of hard to keep them straight and still long enough to measure! He came in around 23"- probably more if I could keep him stretched out, but there's too many shiny things around for him to investigate haha. After hearing about Jango though I think I'm going to go pick up some supers and see how he takes to them. He does enjoy Dubias quite a bit, but will only eat the huge ones... and the colony is too young still to feed him all of the breeders! Also an opinion, I've been feeding him F/T fuzzy rats... which he swallows like they're nothing, should I move him into hopper mice? I'm still getting a feel for how much he can swallow... though it seems like if I put a small trailer in his bin he'd probably eat that :P [/QUOTE]
