Rat Big Enough?

So my Female BP Ice is about 3 years old and 3feet, 4inches long. I switched her to F/T Small Rats from live. After the first f/t feed she had, which she ate two small Rats, I switched her to medium F/T Rats. I think this is a good size for her but after the tail is also swallowed and her jaw is readjusted, she doesnt have a budge and after like 1 minute, she doesnt even look like she just ate a rat. I dont wanna feed her nothing too big so im asking for opinions. Should I just keep her at Medium for a while, or consider a bigger meal. This is her third medium Rat feed.

Re: Rat Big Enough?

I would stay with mediums as this is a good size for this snake. Balls are not that active and you dont want her to get fat from eating meals that are too large. Thats what I would do.

This is a good frequency for a rat this size.
