A lot of feeding is just observing your snake and learning from him or her about what is best. There is nothing concrete about feeding. I feed larger meals less often right now because most of my snakes are adults. I start youngsters on smaller meals more often however. After a while of sticking to a feeding regimine you will notice that your snake is either doing well on it growth-wise or not doing well and at that time you can adjust. Whatever you decide, I suggest you start with rats and feed generously.
