Re: feeding questions
The food item should be about as thick as the thickest part of your snake. Or it should be 10% of the snakes weight. 100 gram snake, 10gram food item.

Re: feeding questions
approximately 10-15% of their body weight, when sizing your food item, it's hips should be no larger than the widest part of the snake. I have 2 snakes in the 850g range and they get 100g rats but could take up to 127g rats hope this helps :)
