it is so individualistic with snakes (like people). The rule of thumb is...if they continue to have good body weight then the amount is right. From what you say I would have no problem with those amounts.

For example. I have a Wagners Viper (Vipera wagneri) female that is about 2'in length. She eats 1 rat pink every two weeks and maintains excellent body weight.

My Baja rat (Bogertophis rosalie) that is the same size eats one fuzzy mouse.

My three foot FWC eats 2-3 small adult rats (in the same time period)and begs for more.
