I let my new baby ball sit for 2 days and today i fed him one hopper, he ate it, then he seemed like he was searching for more, so i got another hopper and before i even got it all the way in his cage he snatched it up, yet again after he swallowed that one he was searching for another and i put another hopper in there and he grabbed it right away. He was born about 3 months ago so hes pretty small ball. Is 3 too much? or wil they stop eating when they are full. I hear all this stuff about balls not eating and this dude ravages frozen hoppers like nothing.

My opinion is that i may need to get adult mice, but yet im super new to snakes, im used to lizards not over eating.

Hes a snapper too, i can hold him fine as long as i keep my other hand away from him, i was talking to a friend yesterday about how they don't usualy bite and about 5 seconds later he had ahold of my finger, because i was pointing with the other finger (ima hand movement talker) at the snake talking about how docile he is. pretty funny imo and my friend ran out of the room while my finger was bleeding, they have quite a bite even as babies. Not as bad as a bearded dragon though (trying to hand feed):P or my sav monitor.
