    Feeding Size Question
    There was recently a post about this topic, howevr, it didnt exactly give me the answer i was looking for. So i went to feed my 2yr old BP and realized i forgot to pick up small rats for him from the store. the only thing left in the freezer was a medium rat. My question is, usually i feed my BP prey the same size or smaller than the width of his widest part of his body, this time howevr it is a little bigger. is it ok to feed him prey that will leave a lump after he moves it down his body? its not like a huge lump or anything, but it would def b obvious at first glance. this isnt something im goin to continue to do either, just a temporary thing due to failure on my part

    Should be fine, rule of thumb is no bigger than 10-15% of your snakes body weight.
