If the rats are no thicker than the thickest part of your snake, she'll be fine.

Iv never weighed her as i haven't got any scales. Got them out of jollies pet store, the rats are roughly the same size as adult mice. just a tad bigger.

An adult Royal could take a 250g rat (the equivalent of about 8 mice), I know which I'd prefer to try feeding and which will be significantly cheaper!
