What the.... Help?

[Borgpython]

Need a little help here about feeding sizes. My Bp just recently hit 200g mark and ever since then shes never satisfied after a meal (rat pups) and wants more the next day . I seeked advice here if I should step up to the next prey item and most said yeah , even my breeder agreed to this so I went ahead and ordered so weaned rats for her . Now here's the problem , I got the rats and they are freaking gigantic compared to her ! I mean the fattest part of her body just about matches a weaned eat size( rats might be a tiny bit bigger) but is she going to be able to swallow these ? I'm afraid shel rip or something !

A 200gr bp can take a rat crawler. It should not be an issue.

If the thickest part of her body is about the size of the rat, she'll be fine. Don't be fooled by the size of her relatively small neck. It'll stretch quite a bit.

If you're really not sure and are still worried, weigh them both and post the weight (in grams). Someone will be able to tell you quickly if the rat will fit if you give both weights.
