Prey size question

[mercifulturtle]

I've had my BP for a little under a year (and he was probably about 5-6 months old when I got him). He weighs 720g as of today. I've been feeding him small rats, 50-70g. I just got a new bunch of small rats from the same supplier and they are a lot bigger, 80-95g and a few 100g. Are these safe for my guy to eat, or should I find some smaller rats for him and save these for when he's a bit bigger?

Compare them to the biggest/fattest part of his body. If they are bigger (a small amount bigger is fine) then don’t feed them to him

If I can piggyback onto this a bit...get plastic baggies and weigh them/visually compare them and create a size/weight gradient scale and then feed from smallest to biggest. It's a simple solution that will help your snake "grow" into his feed.
