two mediums is a bit much for a single feed and would be more than a large. i would say small upwards shpuld only be fed one at a time. and if one doesnt leave a bump move up a size. the prey should be no larger than 1.5 times the widest part of the snake. and its advsed to leave them atleast a week to settle and then offer food. no handling during the first week x
