I agree with Jezabel... it is a good rule to follow for most snakes. All snakes will be different in girth to length so you cannot really go by the length of the snake. It will have to be your call  .

Full grown rats are large to jumbo in size... that's way larger than the girth of even the chubbiest 2-footer. My 30" female is feeding on weanling rats (4 weeks old) and my 3.5' male is feeding on smallish large rats (usually 3 month females).

Bloods get superfat. My borneo is just over 4 ft and the fattest jumbo rat isn't as wide as his girth around.

dvs, those are Sumatran short-tailed pythons (Python curtus). Some people call them "black blood pythons". I know what you mean about the bloods! I love em, in fact I am getting another one this week!

Our Sumatran red is a bit unpredictable, he's fine once you get him into your hand and don't poke @ his head but until then watch out! he's about 1' long and is taking small rats.
