Default mice sizes

How do I find out the correct size of food for my snake if i want to order it on the internet? What can I do with mice i already have that are too small for my animals at the moment?

most online places give you the weights of their various sizes. for the mice that are too small that you've got left over, your snake will still eat them

But i'm still relatively new to this game so weights at the moment will mean nothing to me!I just want to be able to defrost one thing rather than three at the moment for my royal python!!!!! He's just eaten three small mice. How do I know if he'll manage a rat pup or what?

if he's taken 3 smalls, then 1 medium or even 1 large should be no trouble
