 Feeding question
So i have a baby ball python and i am feeding him rat fuzzys i think they are called they are the same width as he is maybe slightly bigger ( if i went down a size they were way to small)
Anyways
i feed him on Sundays and yesterday it looked like after he was done his first he wanted another one.... I didn’t feed him two but i was wondering if i should?

Feeding question
if the food item is slightly bigger than one is all you need for the next 5-7 days. two full sized items in a row will slow digestion and likly cause upset stomach and regurgitation, i learned that the hard way. so one sized item per 5-7 days is all you need anymore is just power feeding which is not healthy for him best to save it for mext week. feeding 2x perweek(several days apart) is for food items that are half the max size he could eat or if the snake is low wieght.

Feeding question
Yes i agree, i didnt feed him anything else but he was waiting there for me like " im still hungry woman!" but i didnt give him another one. I didnt want to upset his tummy got make him gain a bunch of weight, he is fed on sundays, he is around a toonie around and about maybe a little less then two feet. He eats like a champ right now so im happy, one thing tho is he seems to be rather food responsive he want more all the time, and when i reach into his feeding tub ( i know lots of people are telling me that it isnt needed to feed him in a separate tank but my siblings will be coming over and i would rather be safe then sorry) he always goes to bite me, kind of freaks me out a bit so i end up waiting a bit longer until he decided not to go all crazy and i lift him out.

Ya he has calmed down a bunch just since i have been holding him the past week ( i let him be for a week and a bit before even attempting to touch him) he hissed and tried biting he was just cranky but now he at least doesn’t flip out when im trying to pick him up, and actually isnt to too head shy. Well thanks for the advice =)
