I fed my pastel ball python which is a 08 at 805 grams empty 4 mice. The next 2 days she was wrap around her water bowl is this normal? I've seen pregnant snakes do this.i am 100% sure she is not pregnant since she has never been around a male. Could it be she ate to much? Thanks.

im guessing maybe she ate too much and is feeling a little uncomfortable and is unable to ball up. Did you feed her live or f/t?

[SERPENT_MASTERS]

I fed her live. Switching her over to f/t small rats.

4 mice? I hope you weighed them out dude.

at that size 2 adult mice is plenty of food. When over fed they will sometimes seek coolness to relieve the pressure of the large meal, and sometimes regurge it.

Purplepython 29,20,28,25 grams total 102 grams. She poop already and i will never do that again. She seems cool after the dump. Two mice do not give her a lump and she is truly bias aganist rats. What should i do? Get a live mouse and shake and bake it in a bag with a thawed out small rat to give the rat a mouse scent?

NEVER feed ball pythons to the point of a bulge in there stomach. I have 3000g females only fed 80g rats and gain weight like weeds.

Your power feeding and need to cut it down to 40g per feeding.

Richsball thanks alot! Im glad she did not regurge it. The coolness part u hit right on the head. I notice she stayed away from the warmer part of bin. Will never do that again! Thanks again.

4 mice for 800grams seems like a lot. How big are these mice? The reason you go to a bigger prey size is because the mice will literally sit in the snakes throat and not get to the belly. I don't know how serious it is though....

I thought powerfeeding was when snake ate a mouse and u back another one down it's throat. Thanks for the advise 40 grams per feeding a total of 160 grams a month. smacking myself up side the head. Thanks for responding
