The more known rule of thumb and general safe bet for any snake is the widest part of the snake. I recommend this to all new snake owners instead of by weight or even over the widest part. Purely for the simplicity of it. They don't have to worry about weighing the snake or prey and just feeding it and getting used to it.

Also Rob, I think your snake is an exception and not the rule Must be a "burm" of a ball lol
