generally food should be 10-15% the weight of your snake. BE can explain it better ;)

No more to explain MC

It does depend on the size (weight) of your snake.

A small mouse though is hatchling food, so probably a bit small for a 6 month old. Also its probably under 400g, in which case I'd feed every 5 days.
