    Some folks feed juveniles every 5 days - but for ours of that size I usually stick to a weekly schedule. Check the caresheet for additional information especially if you are new to BPs.

    Once a week is plenty.

    If you don't have it already, there's a great book called "The Ball Python Manual" that will help you a lot with your new snake. It can be found on Amazon.com for under $10.00

    Good luck.
