what should i be feeding her

[camb]

i just got a female pastel ball python she is about 18'' and i think about a month and a half old. i fed her one wednesday but i really am not sure how much i should be feeding her. like 1, 2, or even 3 fuzzies or a hopper or what. and how long should it take her to poop?

for size reference in this pic she is in a 20 long

She should be ok with one rat pup every 7 days. If you can't get a rat pup, an adult mouse should be fine.

really, an adult mouse. would a hopper be good an adult mouse seems big. and if she has only had a fuzzie since last tuesday should i feed her another and then start on the bigger food on tuesday

My 15" a little wider than a pencil corns are feeding on hopper mice. Rat pups or adult mice will work for her! Shes very pretty.

thanx for the info, but should i give her another fuzzy to hold her out cuase she has only had one fuzzy in over 9 days and shes little skinny.

and of soon after eating will she poop

Go ahead and feed her another. She may not poo for a while till she eats larger more filling prey, and shes up to weight.

when thawing a fuzzy that is rock hard how long should i let it thaw and does it hurt to wait like another hour even if it is all ready thawed

my friend really wanted to see it eat and just called and is coming over around 2:30 and i started thawing it at 12:00

you want the gut of the mouse to be soft. When you go to feed your snake, give the mouse a quick blast with a hair dryer to warm the mouse up.
