Happy Hillbilly has it right. It's better to feed a couple of smaller meals than one large one. I have three big girls, 11 ft, 12 ft and 15 ft. The 11 and 12 footers get XXXXL guinea pigs about 2#, two at a time every 10 to 14 days. We've only the 15 footer for a couple of weeks (Rosie in the post below). The first time we feed her, I gave her 2 XXXXL gp's. No lump, still wanting more. She ate the 2nd gp backwards, way too small. We ordered XL rabbits, they are about 6-7#, nice lump.
We hear about people stuffing huge prey items(large pigs) into their snakes. I don't feel that this is healthy and it can't be comfortable to them. Think about how we feel the evening of Thanksgiving lol.
Remember what Happy Hillbilly said, dont'ever feed your snake alone!!!
Good luck, hope this helps.
