rule of thumb is prey size no bigger than the thickest part of the snakes body, pretty standard rule for all species.

not quite.... Laughing ...there are no FIXED rules Wink Laughing

What I posted was a safe guideline Wink
I also feed prey larger than the thickest part of the body but other times I feed real small too Laughing (temperature dependant and food frequency)
