Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum but have been keeping other herps for a while now. We (the boyfriend and I) recently aquired a trio of 2003 ball pythons. These guys seem very skinny to me, being between 2.5' and 3' long. The male only weighs 248g, the first female 379g and the second female 409g. I have gotten both of the female to take f/t mice from me but the male has yet to eat (acquired 4/29, went in the blue 5/15 and has yet to shed). I don't want to power feed but I want to get their weight up because I can see their spines and believe they are underweight. If anyone could give me tips for getting the weight up or guidelines as to what they should weigh I'd appreciate it. Thanks so much!
