Substitute your 2 adult mice with a rat slightly larger than small but smaller than medium and she will start packing on some weight. If you get her switched now….she could be ready for the 2011/2012 season.

>>i got my first ball python in april of 2010 and she is an 09 hatchling from late in the year. My friend hasa male pastel i want to breed to her (shes a yellowbelly) but no matter how often i feed her, she still grows slowly. Now she is about 37 inches long and about 850 grams. I try to feed her 2 adult mice every 5 days. Even with a packed feeding schedule, she is not growing at the speed i was told she would. Is it possible the breeder i got her from sold me a male by accidant? Or do you guys have suggestions on how to feed her if i want to breed her in the '11-'12 season?
