How often do you feed your ball pythons?

OneTwoManyHerps Dec 24, 2003 03:45 PM

I am feeding my male and female one a week every sunday a large thawed mouse. My female is somewhat bigger than my male but how come my female is getting really big how long does that take till they look like they been munching on small footballs? Mine would have to be 2 1/2' to 3' and about as round as an empty paper towel roll. (they couldn't fit through it just as big). Thanks!

I feed all my ball pythons once a week......and two days later I throw in an extra meal.....if they eat, GREAT, if they dont, no biggy because they ate just two days ago.

Thanks.....And Merry Christmas.....Mike
