live feeding issue.. stalking but not striking

[Eric Alan]

The prey item needs to be 10-20% of the weight of your snake.

Not throughout their entire lifespan! Once they hit about the 500 gram mark that guideline starts to apply less and less as they grow.

My general rule is small rats from 500-1200 grams, mediums from 1200-3000 grams, and larges (f/t only) above 3000. I only have one big girl that I even offer larges to.
