How big for pinkies??
Hey
Im currently feeding my 9inch chequered garter snake on Lance fish. How big will the snake need to be before it can handle a pinkie? I feel at the moment he is a little small for such food! |

Re: How big for pinkies??
I never like my snakes to swallow the maximum size they can cope with. I generally split the pinkies lengthways to make feeding easier and quicker.

 Although there are people who would pay good money......... let's not go there.When I split pinkies, I use a fish filleting knife, it's so sharp there is no mess at all.... like a hot knife through butter.
