The general rule is they should be fed a mouse that's one and a half times the size of the widest part of the snake. Feed every 7-10 days and just one mouse each feed.

Hi dont know if this is of any help but theese are the sizes up to small mice as bought from my local supllier if i buy from other places the sizes do vary a lil so its probably best to find one decent regular supplier and stick with it so you know what sizes to expect A = Pinkies B = Large pinkies C = Fuzzie D = Hopper E = small mouse

oopsie Actually i think E might actually be a large mouse but you get the rough idea for fuzzie/hopper size at least
