∙ 15y agoSnakes should be fed prey that are in proportion to their size. A baby / small rat snake would be fed "pinkie" mice which are newly born mice. They are small enough to fit easily in a small snakes mouth. As the snake grows it's prey should increase in size too.
I'd recommend once you get to prey that can bite, switch to frozen mice and rats.
When ready to feed just put one in a plastic bag and submerge it in warm apx. 100 degree F water to thaw it out. You do not want to feed a frozen item to your snake.

Royal Pythons will eat rats in captivity but in the wild would eat mice, rats, small rabbits and other small rodents,
Most other snakes would eat small rodents and lizards maybe a bird or two..whatever it comes across on its travels
