Was doing some reading online (unfortunately did not save the link for this tho darn it!) and found some information I'd like an opinion on regarding appropriate prey size.
Basically it said that if you visually check your snake after 12-24 hours the lump should have subsided quite significantly if the prey size was appropriate. If the lump is gone prior to that time then the prey size was perhaps a bit small. If the lump is very obvious after 24 hours then the prey was likely a bit too big and that may lead to a problem with rate of digestion versus rate of decomposition of the prey.
Does this make sense as another good rule of thumb to help with decisions about prey size or is it a bit too generalized?
