My daughter actually did a science project on this a few years ago for our baby ball pythons, plus two neonate boas and a neonate reticulated python we had purchased. She tracked their weights the day after they had a BM, the weight of the feeders, and a few other metrics for six months.
Overall the retic had the most efficient digestive system, with almost 40% of the feeder weight becoming snake weight during the six month period. The ball pythons and boas were around 30%.
