Cal King small meal sizes

Hi!

Has anyone else noticed that California Kingsnakes take far smaller meals than cornsnakes of the same size? I never hear anyone else mention this, and I am wondering if it's only mine....

My biggest, Mojave is about 40 inches long. I have had corns smaller than him easily take prey double the size he can handle. A large adult mouse will get rejected by him. He will try and eat it, no doubt, but will struggle for awhile then release it. He currently eats small adult mice.

I have also noticed this trend with my younger cal kings who only take meals quite a bit smaller than corns of their same size. Obviously kings are a more slender snake in some cases than corns, but like I said I never hear anyone bring this up. Thoughts?
