Bull snake care info needed.

The snake has been coming out in the afternoons and acting hungry so I took it out today and it is 324g and 3'6". What size pray idem will I need? It looks like a large adult mouse would be about the same size around as this snake so should it be on weaned rats?

You'll get a lot of opinions on feeding questions like this, there are a lot of different methods and schools of thought. Personally I just like to eyeball it and my baseline is usually a prey item about as thick as the snake at its thickest point so the weaned rat sounds about right.

I once found a full grown bull snake by the lake it was a cool encounter it flattened out its neck and everything
