I know you go by the girth size of the bellies but there are so many different mice and rat sizes
    I generally use Rodent Pros website for sizes.

    Small Rats normally start in size at around 48-50g. Applying the 10%-15% snake weight/prey weight formula, your snake should be somewhere between 350-400grams empty, before feeding small rats.
