Ate on his own for the first time, but a huge meal..

My Spider BP is the trouble child in my collection. He's completely healthy and everything, just has a little attitude and doesn't like eating the rodents on his own. In fact, yesterday I got him out of the tub and he decided to bite me. It was not really a bite, more like his mouth was still open when he hit my hand. I assisted him twice (first two weeks he was with me) and then he refused (third week I had him). I waited a week to feed him after he refused so he would be hungry again.

My mom forgot a couple of orders (didn't get a hopper, and got two small rats instead of one medium rat and one small rat) and so I was stuck feeding the Spider either a few pinkie mice that were too large for my baby Hognose, or feeding it a rat pup. The rat pup was as large as the middle part of his body, so I just threw it in with the other mice & rats defrosting.

I took him out of his hide and handed over the rat pup. I saw the look on his face like he was most definitely interested in it, and then he took it. LOL that made my day because two other snakes refused their food. My Kingsnake refused his small rat (he never refuses, I think he may be going into brumation) so Candice (that I feed Med. Rats to) got two small rats, and I actually have no idea what I did with the pinkie I was trying to feed to my Hognose.. he kept musking and hissing and hooding out, but he always eat.. I guess it was because the meal size was pretty big so he felt intimidated?

So, after that lengthy post, here's my question. The Spider's belly was about 2x as thick as it was before when I gave him that rat pup, so for such a large meal, should I keep on feeding that or should I try something smaller? The rat pup is actually exactly the same as the largest part on his body, but even though he digested it no problem, he just looked, well, bloated LOL.

My 100g babies easily eat exbreeder mice, every 5 days with out fail, one takes two if offered..they can manage large meals easily
Needless to say their not 100g any more lol!
