    feeding my ball

    i have a ball who is around 3 months or so, is about 18 or 20 inches and a good size in weight. right now im feeding him one small mouse every 5 days. was just wondering if this is enough or should i feed him two?

    I would try a small rat instead of a mouse. Every 5 days is fine, just bump up to rats ASAP so you don't end up having a mouser!

    the pet stores in my area only have adult mice. not sure where to get a rat. so no to feeding two mice?

    You can feed two mice, but your snake is still young so you could move up to a full grown adult mouse for now, rather than two mice. Then work your way up, and get your snake on small frozen rats as soon as he's big enough.
