    How old is it? My babies get offered 2 appropriately sized mouse fuzzies at a time, and my adult gets a small adult rat - every five to seven days.

    NParas my friend welcome to the forum,
    What he wants to know is if there's a percentage to body weight that he can use as guide to feed his king like the 10-15% of the ball pythons.

    I personally don't weigh them - all my kings and milks get 2 prey items as babies that are slightly larger than their girth each feeding.

    My adult king gets a small frozen thawed rat once a week.
