HOW TO FIND OUT THE PERFECT FEEDER SIZE FOR YOUR SNAKE?

♡ Rule-of-Thumb: Take a look at your snake's thickest part of the body. A perfect prey should be 1.25 to 1.5 times of that size in diameter (measure the thickness of the rodent, not the length).

Ex. Snake's Widest Part (d): 2cm [x 1.5 = Rodent's Widest Part (d): 3cm]

♡ Ratio: You need a scale for this one. Weigh your snake to conduct a simple calculation. A perfect prey should be as large as 8-12% of your snake's body mass (go smaller for colubrids).

Ex. Let's say your Snake's Body Mass is 1,250g, and the Rodent Size served to your snake should approximately be 8-12% from your snake's body mass. Therefore, we can do the following calculations according to general specifications of your snake like body structure and previous feeding experience: 8%: 1,250 x 8 / 100 = 100(g) OR 10%: 1,250 / 10  = 125(g) OR 12%: 1,250 x 12 / 100 = 150(g).

Result: Perfect choice would be a Medium Rat on the bigger end / Large Rat on the smaller end.
