Re: Mice to rats
My male BPs (1400g + 1,000g) both get small rats (60-70g typically) every week or two weeks.

If he is huge are you sure he is a male? Some snakes have been mis-sexed before. But if you are sure it is a male indeed. I would recommend dropping to smalls. I myself believe in going by the girth idea. Thickest part of the snake equal to the feeder. Some say feeder 1and a half times larger but I like going with the same equal sizes I recommend going by what the chart suggests actually.

The large rats are actually smaller than the widest part of his body. Was told he was a male when I rescued him but it could be wrong.

Do you know the weight of him and the large rats?
But yeah, a picture would help everyone here get a better idea also.

Re: Mice to rats
I went with medium for my oldest and didn't get any for my youngest because they didn't have the right size for her.
Do you think the medium are too big, to?
