    Males stay on Rat Smalls the remainder of their life
    Females over 1200 grams - Rat Mediums
    Good guide, but OP, everyone is different. I feed my male Medium Rats, and feed him every 10 days. So long as you are in the right ballpark to begin with, after a while you can pretty much just eyeball it. A lot of people say 'no bigger than the widest part of the body' that is good advice yeah, but I don't push it. Just use common sense and do what feels right for the snake, it will all come
