    Try to feed your snake food that is about as wide as the thickest part of their body.

    As to how large your snake is going to grow, I have no idea. But as many people have stated in other similar threads, don't let the size of their little necks fool you. Those things are super stretchy, it's mind boggling.

    Re: food size

    "Adults usually grow no more than 2m, but some have been recorded at 2.5m. There was however, one exception, one M.s. Variegata was recorded at 280cm at four years old."

    From the incredible obscure website Wikipedia.

    Sorry, feeling a bit testy today. As long as you don't chop the tail off your snake, I've no cause to complain.

    Edit: Oops, you were asking for thickness, not length. Even less reason for my snark. Sorry!
