    First Ball Python :)

    Here she is! Her name is Penelope. She is a Spider het Albino and weighed in at 136g today (however she did eat a f/t adult mouse on Wednesday). Born on 8/24/11 and just got her from CV exotics. Let me know what you guys think .

    Here's her picture from the breeder:



    Here are a couple of pictures of her from today:









    Sorry I have no idea how to resize the pictures for better posting. Please let me know how if you do!

    Thanks . Is she breeding worthy once she gets to 1500g?

    Weight isn't the only factor, some will breed at 1500 g, some will not. I would breed her if she were mine.

    She looks nice!
    She seems kinda tiny for 8 months old though. What are you feeding her and how often?

    Thank you! And I just got her from the breeder on Wednesday. She ate a f/t adult mouse on Wednesday. I was just going to feed her an adult mouse every week until she gets bigger. Should I be feeding her something larger right now?

    Good looking little Spider.

    Feed her 10-15% of her body weight every 5-7 days and you can't go wrong.
