    You can have 2 rats that weigh exactly 150g and one can be physically much larger than the other. That's why I don't feed primarily based on weight. The snakes get the correct sized prey items by me looking at them, and choosing what physically is the best "fit."

    I have one BP on large rats...an adult female. I don't know how much she weighs as my scale doesn't go high enough. But the male she's locked with in the pic below was close to 1500 grams...I have a few more females who take mediums, but no way could any of my 1500 gram balls take a large rat.
