This ball python has been on rats for a year. However, these are larger than the ones she usually gets. She is a great feeder and is fed once or twice per month. She is not a breeder. I think she could handle these, but I thought I'd get some other opinions.
If this were your snake, would you give her the pictured rats?
Re: Are these rats too large?
If she has no problem taking them down they look fine to me.
I do prefer to feed smaller prey every week versus larger less often, but as long as she eats a couple of those a month then I don't see why not.
Re: Are these rats too large?
No those look perfect. If she is re gurging, then you might want to buy smaller. But I dont think there should be any problem with her taking them bad boys down. =D
Good luck,

Looks like a good size to me!
Re: Are these rats too large?
They're a bit on the large side, but she should be able to get them down. I would extend her feeding schedule by a few days, give her a bit longer to digest them.
