ball python size

[shaqthaballkeeper]

ok i have had my ball python for about 2.5 years now. she is a little over 2 ft long and she isnt that big around either. she escaped from her cage a while ago for about a month, and that kept me from feeding her for a while. i have been looking at 2 yr old bp's and there way bigger than my bp.dont u think she should be a little bit bigger or something.i feed her once a week. what do you think???

What are you feeding her?

i use to feed her small mice but they were to small i have started feeding her adult mice

Her meals are way too small for her age, probably why she's so skinny. She should easily be able to take weaned rats at her age. My 2010's all take weaned rats. I'd switch asap to rats....do you have any pictures of her?

what do you think???

I have a 2000 gram female yellowbelly that won't be 2 till August and a 950 gram female that will be two in August, size/weight is hugely variable.
The 950 gram girl had a 9 day adventure herself and went off feed several times which is why she's not nearly the size of my big girl.

Without pictures your question is pretty difficult to answer.

Some grow a little slow. I have an 08 that is a little over 900 gr ( she eats mice ) and an 08 that is around 3000 gr ( she eats rats ). Try feeding rats.
The month off food shouldn't be a big deal.
