Glad hes eating well =]
Thats great news.

I own three royals, 1 also being a pastel. Imo he doesn't look that skinny.. but the weight says it all.
I would honestly stick to 5 days. If he happens to refuse the next feed in 5 days I would leave it a week then feed him again but I think he should take in the next five days.
While you can kill a snake via power feeding yes, and I totally disagree with power feeding, feeding a young snake that may be a little underweight every 5 days won't kill him, I promise you.

When my 07 Pastel came to me last year he was already on adult mice.

But i got him straight on to large rat weiners (all F/T) as I believe rats are healthyier, and hes growing just right and has turned into a handsome little boy.

Unfortantely they do fade alot as they grow - but are stunning animals nonetheless. Good luck with the little fella

wow jess hes getting big already how long is he now ?

 

[Jessica Dring]

He's about 3ft now Reptec, will have to measure him again though. Hes about 700grams, so not that big yet He's getting their steadily and slowly

Sweet, thank you Jessica! If he takes another small rat pink, how many feedings should I keep up the 5 day schedule?

 

[Jessica Dring]

Umm, i would say about 2 months - 10 weeks. Then move to the next size up. Post pictures in about 2 months and we estimate when you should move up better =]

Wow, I like that Pastel that Jess posted (The bottom one)

Isn't it the same as the top one, just older and larger?

It's a shame they don't keep their bright yellow color, but I still ike the bright look of the adults compared to the darker normals.

I dunno man....If it is, I would totally be fine with that. I think the adult is gorgeous. And yea, I dig the Adult pastel over an adult normal ANYDAY.
