thanks for your help

Your snake may be too big for just one mouse, you can try offering him 2-3 mice in one feeding (one at a time) or offer larger items but you shouldn't feed him more than once every 5-7 days, it's not good for him.

i know the largest part around is what your u feed your ball(that size mics,rat) so im feed him 1 weadling 2-2.5 inches and 13-18 grams, he eats them know problem should i get some weadling rats 3.5 inches-4.5 and 30-44 grams, or jumbo mice about the ame size or smaller

like he eats the wed(mice with know problem) so should i go big, but what happen if 2 big will he eat them can he die, i really dont wana buy a bunch of rat/ mice and them being the wronfg size

thanks for all your help

I could barely make any sense of your second post.

How long is the snake? Can you give a guess-timate on the size of it's girth?

I feed my 2'4" ball a large mouse weekily. Although it could take a small rat. (Mice are just so cheap... I know I am evil)

Mice weanlings would be for a baby ball. Is it a baby? We need to know the size really to help you.

You should feed your snake once a week even if he seems hungry before that times up. I have a redtail boa that would eat every other day if I let him...but that's not good for a snakes digestion. They take at least a week to digest their meal before they should eat again. Don't feed so many times in a week...he really doesn't need to eat all that much.
