Meal size?

Is a 17g mouse too large for a 71g BP?

Thats larger than something I would feed. A 17g rat for a 71g snake is about 24% of the snakes gram weight. The general rule of thumb is 10-15%. If its the only thing you can get I'd feed it and give your snake an extra few days to chill out and digest.

I'd say that's a bit big. Is it bigger around than your snake, that's a good rule of thumb..
