    big meal

    So im kind of at a fork in the road. My snakes are getting much bigger but the rats I have aren't big enough. I have the choice of feeding my 730g albino a 60g rat or a 110-120g rat. Should I feed her the bigger rat and give her an extra few days to digest or feed her the smaller rats? Thanks!

    110g is exactly the right size for your snake

    You should still be ok with a 120g rat. I have accidentally given some of mine rather large meals, sometimes you forget who is where and they get the wrong food.

    She sure ate that rat quick! My other big girl was eating her rat too but I went to check if she was actually eating and she stopped. Hopefully she'll go back to it!
