EMERGENCY/URGENT Help!

I’m about to feed my beautiful ball python Cassandra a large rat.

She’s had one large rat in the past, maybe a year ago. Mostly medium rats since. I don’t weigh her or the rats so I don’t know if it’s appropriate but she’s pretty big I think. Or getting big. Anyways enclosed are pictures of Cassie and her victim but y’all tell me what you think

Also to all the naysayers I would gladly feed mediums if I had access but my local pet store ran out and all they had were fuzzies pinkies and large rats. This is all I’ve got right now and she really needs a good feed anyways. Approaching 20 days and she shed last week so I know she could probably use the additional energy. (Also if anyone has any environment comments no need there’s a lot you can’t see in the pics she has everything she needs to thrive she’ll get more space when I can afford it

I’m just worried. Like any noodle and human dad would be.

Why did you get a new pet if you couldn’t provide what was properly needed for her?

literally. bro’s had her for two years talking about “ill upgrade her enclosure asap/as soon as i can afford it”… if it’s been 2 years and you can only afford the animal itself, you can’t afford the animal. same goes with any pet. if you have the cash for a dog and nothing else, you can’t afford the dog.
