    Question ? for everyone

    Every sunday I feed my bp. Well this last sunday when I was putting him in the feeding cage the hopper was already in there. My bp just grabbed the the hopper and ate in my hand. Is this ok? Does that show that he trusts me? Or was just a one time thing? Thanks

    Not cool at all. Get yourself some tongs and keep your hand out of the mix.

    I think he meant that when he was putting the snake in the feeding tub that he took the mouse out of the tub.

    ...next time it might be your hand.

    .....and unless your ball python is a newly hatched baby....a hopper mouse is most likely too small of a meal.

    Here is the pic. I'll try and get a better one in a little bit but can you tell if I should upgrade from a hopper?

    it is hard to say, get a pic from above with something for a comparison. but from that, it looks like a hopper is too small
