Well they start off on pinkies & work their way up to large adults Depends on how large the snake is of course. MBKS are usually pretty big eaters. A general rule of thumb is to offer the same girth or slightly larger prey than the thickest girth of the snake & do so weekly 1-3 prey items depending on size of prey. If prey is smaller 2-3 if larger 1-2 or only 1 if quite large in girth compared to the snake. Cheers Mark

I feed mine small rats, but Mark covered the sizes pretty well.
