    Feeding Decision

    I have a 740g about 3 feet(not sure exactly) female that I was planning on switching from feeding every 7 days to feeding every 10 days. What do you guys think should I go ahead and do it? It says in The Ball Python Manual that once the snake is an adult you can switch to every ten days, and it also says they are adults at 3 feet, so what do you guys think?

    I typically feed Shikara once a week and he's 4ft long. I guess it really depends on the snake.

    Re: Feeding Decision

    if it is a female i don't think 740 grams would be considered and adult. i think maybe around 1500+ grams. but that also depends on length too. i feed everyone once a week.
