    Feed a prey slightly smaller then the girth size (widest part of your BP's body).

    You will want to feed your snake a mouse that is approximately the same size around as the largest part of your snake, or slightly larger. I would say that if you wanted a weight, the mouse would probably weigh between 25 and 30 grams.
