First feeding success!!

SecondsOut Jan 30, 2009 11:43 AM

Being a first time BP owner, I was nervous about giving Napoleon his first feeding. For those who dont know, he is a 6 month old het albino male. I brought him home on Sunday after the show in White Plains. Anyways, the breeder has been feeding him live fuzzies. I do not want to take the chance of the snake being harmed, so I decided to feed him f/t. Well, he must have been really hungry!!! He ate the small mouse I gave him 15 seconds after I introduced it to him! I'm super happy right now. He ate it so fast, I wonder if it was enough prey for him. What is the next thing that I should do? Here is a pic of my boy.

A fuzzy mouse, will not harm a Ball! That being said, if he's taking f/t, ride it out! If that snake is 6 months old, it should be eating adult mice!
