3 to 5 times as large and as large or a little over the size of neck.....



I will say.people feed balls too large a prey item alot of times.....



they can live on mice forever..



rats are nicer.......less numbers........



ok..don't know the size of your snake.........



feeding 3 mice.....don't know mouse size either..could be 40 gram mouse..could be 100 gram mouse.....



so....try up to double neck thickness........



balls are slow digesters ........remember..,,,,,,,,,they don't need a full sized rat every week.........



they can take a fair meal a week and even more......bt not a huge meal too often.......



......baby ball fuzz rat a week......year old balls smal rat a week.........4 foot balls a medium and smaller rat a week.......5 1/2 foot balls..........males.small rat a week....half the year.......female balls at 5 1/2 foot can take medium rats a week for half the year and be ok......



.....as long as it eats it will live.......even small meals..........and yes they can be stunted and stay too small.......
