That was a hard decision, and based on size, I can't really say what you need. Someone here may be able to give you a better answer, but I try and find rats that are about as big around as the snake.

And I do it by how round the rat is when it's stretched out, since that's how the snakes end up eating them anyway.

The issue I had is I think the snake was scared at first because the rat was too big. I waited a week, I guess to get him good and hungry, and he ate fine. Then on out, been pretty good. I'm no expert, but that's how it went for me.

Maybe start with real small rats and just get a little bigger each week until you reach the correct size. Not sure.
