I just recently picked up a female BP. She is 4 years old, and when I weighed her when I got home she was 1687g. The guy I got her from said she weighed 2040g during breeding season. I should have asked him how often to feed her, but i forgot. She is on F/T medium rats.
I have many other ball pythons but she is my first over the age of 3 years. Yes, I do plan on breeding but as of yet I have not had any breeding experience. All my other snakes are currently 2 years old or younger.
I should also mention that she laid a clutch on May 4th of this year and I will be breeding her this coming season. So how often should I feed her now? Same with my other females. When I get them up to breeding size, how often should I feed them. Currently my ball pythons under 500g are fed every 5 days. Anything bigger then that I feed once a week. My second largest female is only 1200g so this part is new to me.
