Feeding Schedules

Hey,
What kind of feeding do you guys recommend for ball pythons?
Different weights.
Male Females?

Also, When saying medium or large rat or mouse. What size does that mean? People may both say large rat and mean two different things.
Thanks! Interested in what you guys have to say

that is a very individual question.. and no one can answer it for you really. their is no precedent that says a large rat is 90 grams to 140 grams and that an extra large rat is 140

it depends on the snake and the owner. i feed my snakes as big as "I" feel they can handle without problems. some handle larger meals better than others. i have a spider ball that prefers smaller rats even though she is big enough to handle larger ones.
its a hard question to answer for you.
experience is your only true answer.
