Which is exactly why I said start with that general rule and adjust as needed. Even the link you provided with the "Guidelines" say that there is "no right way to feed" and "find what works for you and your pet".

I both understand and agree with your point that we don't know the condition of the animal, and I admit that I could have and should have started my advice a bit better than "You should...". But I still believe it's good advice for a STARTING point when learning what to feed your snake.
