i forgot Kaa's mouse this morning!!! argggg!

do you think it will be ok over the weekend or do i need to make the hour trip to get his food today?

-slappy

A day or two doesn't matter. I try to keep mine on a rigid feeding schedule for my conveinience but they don't care if it's today or tomorrow. In the wild they are lucky to find food on even a semi-weekly basis. If mine don't eat on the day they are supposed to (ie they refuse) I wait a week. I have a male that hasn't accepted food since september and he's only lost a few grams.

Are you going to wait till the weekend is over, she will be fine balls can go months with no food. the only thing is you said she was roaming around alot already, She will be fine but come monday she may be aggressive twards the food if she is really hungry, Just saying so your not surprised when you feed her. But she will be Ok.

Ok let me get this right you are in school right and you have your ball with you at school. And your school is a hour from home. Is there a pet store near can you just buy one from them? If not like every one els said they can wait, it will not hurt them.

"snakes are kind of like potato chips, you cant have just one"

One of my males was DEEP in shed. He skipped his last two meals...so I waited until I saw that he shed...
He nailed that baby rat so hard I thought he killed it from just the strike.

That's the great thing about snakes...
if need be..they can wait a few days to eat and not die.

The other day we had snow, sleet and freezing rain. I was not about to head up to Petco to get a mouse.
I'm going to feed them today...and no one will know any better.

Guys, Balls can go for months without food! Don't sweat it!
