I would buy small rats, and seeing as you are already paying the shipping cost, throw in a bag or two of mediums.It wont cost you all that much, and start with the smalls, and then let your snake tell you which ones it prefers. Dont worry.
With a burm, none of those rats will go to waste.
You may even want to feed a small and a medium.
Again, let your snake tell you what it wants.
But I'm willing to bet this is your last order of small rats.
Note...rodent pro's rat sizes seem to be a little on the generous size. They seem a little bigger than others I have bought.
So smalls might work for about a month. If I were you, for the money, I'd go half and half.
