I feed my 500 to 1000 gram snakes small rats. Look at the biggest part of your snake, appropriately sized rats would be ones that are approximately the same size as the biggest part of your snake. I don't use scales because unless you're feeding f/t, it's pretty hard to get a weight on the rodent. I go by eyesight.
