The thing about rat sizes is, it depends on where you get them, as to what is considered a small and a medium. Usually, small rats will range in size from about 40-90 grams or so, and mediums usually range about 90-150 grams or so. My best suggestion is to get a scale and use it to weigh your snake, then get your feeders in the 10%-15% body weight of your snake. I take my scale to the pet store to weigh my F/Ts before I buy them...
Having your snakes weight recorded and choosing the feeder based on that is definitely a good way to go if you are unsure of feeder sizes. Too small of a meal can be fixed with more frequent feeding or a second meal, but too large of a meal can cause some real problems. Good luck
