    I'm not too sure on the weight of the rats, I'll quickly pop one on my scales to check! The rat I have (frozen so may alter weight(?) is 51g
    51g is pretty big for a 200g snake. I think for younger, growing snakes the recommended range is 10% to 15% of bodyweight.

    If she hasn't been eating consistently, she may be hungry. Try a smaller rat...around 20g if you have one.

    EDIT: Although if she just ate a large one like that 2 days ago, she's probably not hungry. Hmmm...

    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
