    I know the rule about feeding one prey item per week. Equal in diamater to the largest diamater on the snake. But im having a hard time judging this.

    My snake Nyoka, is 106 grams. What is a good size to feed him? adult mice? hoppers? i cant find any rat pups or things near its size so mice will have to do untill he gets bigger

    10-15% of the snake's body weight in prey is a general rule of thumb.
    So, giving a 19g prey is a bit over 15% of the body weight but ought to be fine. I would not move up in prey size yet :)
    Also, I feed snakes that weight every 5 days.
