By your tape measure it appears your floor tiles are 12". So she looks a good 30 inches or so. Personally I'd have her on good size mice once a week or so. But increase the size over a few feedings, to see if there is any issues. Do a small mouse, then a bit bigger, then a small adult to adult, but not huge. As feed items gets bigger, spread feedings apart.



OR, feed her more small. It is better for her, it just costs more.



I am notorious for feeding large to some of my snakes. My 4' bloodred can eat medium rats. BUT, it's not the best really. More small is always better. I can't explain it, but I had it explained to me by several biologists, with masters who were into herps,, so I take their word on it.



Good luck and also wait for more responses.
