Feed first rat!! DIAL UP NO NO

[DSGB]

so i decided to switch to rats today. i really couldnt tell if the rat was to big or not. i usually feed 2 small mice a week. but everything went smooth. my snake didnt hesitate to go for the kill. he took care of business pretty quick. i still think the rat may have been a little big. here are some pics, let me know what you think. thanks!!

oh and tell me if the picks are to big cause im using a weird screen so i cant tell.

Looks fine to me

Lots of people go by 10% of the body weight. I go a bit higher than that and feed every 7 days after the snake hits about 200g or so. The little lump it left look good to my eye, but I wouldn't feed again for 7 days. I'm sure you might know to not pick up the snake now for the next 2 days (unless to change it substrate, put in fresh water, etc.)
Yea!!! Successful feed!!!

Hey DSGB how much does your snake weigh? I got a guy thats around 320-350grams and I feed him 2 mice every 7 days. I was curious if yours is a lot bigger or not, I want to get him on rats to fatten him up but Im not sure if he's big enough.
