BP Prefers smaller prey?

[clapton924]

A small rat might be too big for a yearling female that has been eating weekly.

An adult bp shouldn't ever have to eat anything larger than a medium rat and usually doesn't get more than a small rat.
You want to have a rat thats about the same thickness as the thickest point on the snake.

Too small of prey can be harmful, but a small rat I guarantee is not too small.

I feed items that are the same size as the thickest part of the snake. My ball is actually a bit wider than a "medium rat". The snake is 970 grams....40" in length.
