how do you figure out what size prey you need?

I was lucky, at the start of my snake keeping "career" i wass able to walk into a reptile shop open a freezer and hand pick my prey items.

My corns are fed prey twice their girth, royal gets prey 1.5 timess girth, GTP was on prey three to four times girth but have backed that down to twice girth. My SD retic and JCP get prey three to four times their girth.

Never owned boas so no idea what ratio people use for prey for them
