A full size mouse would probably be fine.

my girl is around 6 months and nice and plump and there is no way she can take a full mouse. try fuzzys. if you think she can take bigger try a hopper, if that goes down easy then trya mouse. its always better to feed a few smaller items then something to big.

mines about 20" maybe 21" at most and took a full size mouse yesterday, prolly 1/3 larger then i usually feed him but he took it down fine, they only had full size at the petstore and it was the smaller of the adult mice

A great rule of thumb that noone mentioned... Use the thickest part of there body to determine what size to be fed. In other words get a mouse that is either the same size or smaller then the thickest part of your snakes body. And it will be fine eating the mouse. Just dont get a big mouse that is bigger then your snakes "thickness", otherwise the snake may regurgitate the mouse which is not the funnest thing to clean up. Good luck! And hope this helps!
