    I believe most people recommend a rat to be 10-15% of the snakes body weight.
    100g does seem a bit much.

    Yep, that sounds like you're feeding your BP a medium when it should still probably be taking smalls or crawlers.

    Way too big! You should be looking at about 35 to 50 gram rats weekly.
