Preference is where you're wrong.

My method, through a lot of bookkeeping and trial and error I found that smaller meals roughly 10% - 15% of body weight had the snakes keeping the most amount of their meal for growth and the like.

I found larger meals left them digesting for too long and more lethargic and the growth rate wasn't as steady or as good as smaller meals. The snake wasted more of the meal.

This is just my findings and doesn't make it scientific but it's what I like to see in my collection.
