    31g sounds more like a big rat pup or small weaned rat.

    It's on the big side, but it's doable. I've fed at 20% before without problems.

    This is why I generally like weights better than labels. Easier and faster to tell over the internet if something will work or not.

    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
