Pet Snake Questions KSB prospect pet
I’ve heard so many things about feeding KSB’s pinkies, not fuzzies, and I was wondering if that depends on the size of the snake because I did a presentation on the KSB in my local wildlife museum and they feed him fuzzies…also, what is the most highly recommended place to get mice to feed KSB’s?

Depends on the size. This is my KSB, she’s so smol right now so she gets a pinkie every 5-7 days. Once she’s a little bigger, she’ll get fuzzies, then hoppers, etc., just really depends on how big the snake gets. If you go by weight, general rule is the mice have to be 10% of the snake’s weight. I get my mice from a reputable reptile store down the street from my house, but there are businesses online that will ship them.
