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

Males will generally be smaller than females and if they are eating mice instead of rats then they tend to be leaner too. A 3-4 year old male could be anywhere between 3 and 4 feet long and weigh about 1000 grams.


>>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?

I would think your snakes should be able to handle 2 adult size mice or one small rat a week. If your local pet store doesn't have the appropriate size look online for a good supplier.


>>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.

30 x 29 x 26 sounds ok for one, but it does not sound like it would be big enough to properly house two adult balls.
