as a rule of thumb, a growing snake can eat 10% to 13% body weight per feeding.
So if the snake weighed for example, 180 grams, you could feed a mouse weighing about 21 grams.
Once the snake is full grown, you'll cut back the feedings to a 30 to 35 gram mouse every 2 to 4 weeks.
And I would not rely on a postal scale to weigh a snake. Most of us use "Kitchen Scales" which you can purchase at Walmart, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, or any place that sells cooking supplies and kitchen wares. A Kitchen scale typically used for weighing ingredients is perfect for smaller snakes such as corn snakes, and most of those scales weigh in ounces and grams.
I got my scale at Target and I think I payed 30 bucks for it.
