I have some important questions that I think you all can answer better than a ball python book (or at least, I hope you can). I just got these 2 and want to make sure they're healthy (rescues).

I'm looking for a general opinion on the following questions, and would greatly appreciate it!

1) How much should a healthy just-turned-3 and an almost-turned-4 ball python weigh & measure lengthwise?

2) How much food should each be getting? The best the pet store had in frozen (the snakes have never had live) is medium mice. Is one apiece once a week enough?

3) What size cage is sufficient for ball pythons? The one they came with is 30 x 29 x 26, approximately. It's a great wooden cage with a ceramic socket, so I'd definately prefer to keep it.


Thanks!
