Hi,

Thank you so much for your reply. I am trying to understand the diet of a ball python so much better. And you hit the nail on the head. I am afraid of obesity in my snakes. I hope many more replies come in here because I want to hear as many view points as possible. I was told that these snakes will gorge themselves if you let them and then they will go off feed for months. I am trying to figure out how far we can take that without going off feed. I am really tracking the weights and in time it should all be clear.

Regards,
Bill
