Feeder size in relation to snake size

I know about the lump after eating, but that is hindsight.

Is there a chart or percentage value for feeding?

A Ball Python should get 10-15% of it's weight it feeder size.

Does this also hold true for Corns?
 
Use the forum's Search function to find "The Munson Plan". That gives a good set of guidelines for size of food item vs. bodyweight for Corns.

Worth bearing in mind that there are no hard and fast rules for Corns - a feeding regime that will produce an obese Corn in one house, can be a lean maintenance diet for another. They're very much individuals and their metabolisms vary too widely for anything other than "guidelines"!
