If they are girls and you plan on breeding them I would avoid about 90% of the advice that was given.



Alot of the members here on the Ball forum keep 1-3 snakes and they should not even be offering tips since they really don't know. They will jump in and tell you they "think" or they "read" but anyway......



If you have any plans on breeding these animals and they are still juvis, then feeding them twice a week will work out great. I feed/offer baby Regius twice a week until they hit 600-700 grams. When they are in the 700 gram range I offer 1 bigger food item weekly.



Another good odea is to try and get your animal on rats as soon as you can. Then it can be fed 1 item once a week vs. 3-4 items once a week.

To me this seems to be a very small boy, most of my babies were 3x that at the same age. But all of my babies were on rat pups within the first few meals.







"""""have liver problems?..among other things?



they digest slowly.......and will overeat.....



feed once a week.a good meal..not too big and not too small....



I know some balls that have died from being fed every other day or so..............



some balls grow quickly on little food and some grow slower on more food.......make sence?......

WHAT? Do you have any idea what you are talking about?



Regius have a faster metabolism than alot of the small boids.
