Nice book answer.......

I have some snakes that I will feed 4-6 small rats at a time.....of course, these are girls that normally would eat a jumbo, or a big large, and I don't have any available, so essentially, they are getting the same weight. I don't do this all the time, but if I were you, I would move up to mediums, or offer 1-2 small rats every 5 days.

At 5, I have girls that are over 2500 grams.....my 2010 spider girl is 1800 grams......but all snakes grow at a different pace.
