Stop taking husbandry advice from that pet shop, it is very poor.
You feed an appropriate sized prey item once a week. You should offer a mouse or rat that is approximately the same diameter as the snake at its widest point. For a 3 ft ball python, that is probably a medium rat. Once a week.
Check out our site for a Ball Python caresheet and lots more info in the FAQ.
Get a copy of McCurley's Ball Python book, the small version, available here on the classifieds for around 10 bucks. It covers all of the husbandry info you need, in detail, and is a great reference. If you want a more detailed and in depth book, get McCurley's Complete book, or the VPI book. Those are the three books I would recommend.
Best of luck. ----- robyn@proexotics.com
