Mine get medium or small. I think weight percentage is for youngsters, not adults.

As what the two above posters have said^, i too agree that rule is just for younger snakes.
I dont follow that rule at all though. I feed one meal a week thats roughly the same size as the fattest part of the snake. For babies ill feed them twice a week sometimes. Also, just bc your snake CAN take down a 300g rat, doesnt mean you SHOULD feed it a 300g rat. Smaller meals more frequently are better imo.

Agreed again. I don't really follow the sizing chart, I just kinda eye ball the size for babies. However my adults, many around 3000 grams, are mostly fed a medium once a week. Some of the big girls are occasionally fed a "retired breeder" rat. But that's only once in a while.

Yea, I was told by someone on here that they stay with medium rats or nothing bigger than 125-130g.

Ok well I ended up getting her a medium rat!!! She pounded it down and seems very happy. The guy at the store tried to sell me a opossum rat, that thing was HUGE, like a small rabbit

At 2700 grams she should give you plenty of eggs (fingers crossed)
