    Feeding frequency

    I have a ball python that is around 3 months old...is every 7 days ok to feed, or should I feed twice a week?

    Every 7 days is perfect.

    I concur....every seven days is great. Ball pythons have a very slow metabolism and even babies don't need to eat more often than once a week.

    Re: Feeding frequency

    one a week is a good number, just pick an appropriate food size and you can stay on the one-a-week schedule for the life of your animal.
