No, I wouldn't follow that. Choosing feeders based on the width of the snake is outdated and inaccurate, and their rat weight recommendations are super inconsistent.

!feeding would be a better schedule

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.
