1 mouse every other week for a 3 ft North American ratsnake will be just fine. I think a mature N american ratsnake gets a little fat on more than one prey item every other week, unless breeding.

: Geezzz.... how do i know how much to feed a snake?? Is it 1 prey as thick as the snake every week or what? But wouldn't a ratsnake require more food than a boa or python of the same girth since the ratsnake would be alot longer? This feeding thing is panicking me... Should a 3 foot rat snake take on mouse a week or 2 or 3??
