My adults all get the large size rats from rodentpro (I believe they weigh 200-275 grams). Some of my adults eat weekly, some don't. I have a female about the size of the ones you mentioned, and she's eating 2 of those per week after having laid a clutch in late march. Soon, she'll be going back to one per week. This seems to work fairly well for me. I don't have any problems with obesity in my snakes, so I would think a medium to large size rat per week would work just fine for your snakes.
