Not the best advice considering that you do not know the size of the snake in question and no feeding a prey equal the girth size of a snake is not the same as the guideline provided above.You should be feeding your snake a rat that is approx. as big around as the widest part of your snake's body
If you had a 4000 grams snakes which I assume you do not have you would based on your advise feed a 300/350 grams rat which is way too big and will only make the animal sluggish and more inconsitant when it comes to feeding.
