I have a ball python. It is a little less than a year old. He (or she) is about 32-34 inches long and weighs about 500 grams empty. I was wondering if he or she is big enough to start on small rats. As of right now i feed one live adult mouse every 5 days. (more often then not, F/T mice are simply wasted...sporadically eats dead ones) Any suggestions would be awesome!
