Hi everyone. I just wanted to say I LOVE my ball python! Snuggler is the best! I love all of my colubrids but I've had him the longest and he is awesome. I've had him 2 1/2 years since he was a hatchling and he is between 40-45 inches. I just have a quick question about the size of his rats. I see tons of bp's that are absolute monsters compared to him body weight wise. He is a healthy, robust weight, but these other snakes are just a little longer and aren't obese, but are much larger than he is when it comes to body weight. I have been feeding him small rats and today I gave him a medium. I honestly didn't think he could swallow it but he got it down in five minutes. I've never power fed him and would now like to start packing some weight on him. since he was able to swallow this rat, should I continue to feed him this size rat weekly now? Thanks a bunch!
