Their jaws can open up to like a 180 degree angle I believe, or very close to it. If the prey is too big the snake will not eat it, and if it truly believes it can handle it and it was actually too big the snake will throw it up. I have only had adults and all were on rats when I got them, so I can't help you with the weight thing.


Post a picture of your snake next to a coin or a dollar bill or something so we can see how big it is.
