how to feed my ball python

[drmoz2]

Hi,

I have a 80cm (31.5 in) long ball python.It was born in 2007.

How many mice should I give it every month?

Thanks a lot.

Welcome to the forum!!

I would suggest you start with our caresheet which has lots of good information regarding feeding and husbandry.

I would suggest you feed on a weekly basis. I will usually feed 1-2 mice per week. Do you have a weight that you can give us? or even a picture with something to compare its size? (coke can, pen, coin...something)

Thanks Nathan, here is a picture ob my bp next to a coke sized can.

Looks like a similar size to my bp. I feed 2 mice a week, and she has been gaining weight well.
