Some insight please?

Just wondering what i should be feeding my 4ft - 4 1/2ft RTB? I feed him a Large Rat every ten days, maybe plus? But it seems that even after i feed him, right away he seems hungry still....

Thanks.

That sounds about right to me, but does that leave any noticeable bulge in him?

[Mighty Monty]

No, not at all...Never any noticeable buldge, always been a great eater.

But after his last feeding, right away he was looking up like some more was coming. Same with the next day, and then when i went to change his water, after opening the top he was just chilling there like he always does when about to eat, he almost caught my arm when i was puttin the water dish in.

He's healthy, always sheds clean, his dumps are normal. It just seems like he's still hungry though....

Then again, could there be a possibility that he may be going into shed, due to him always looking aware of what's going on, looking like he wants to feed?

[JimiSnakes]

Up his food size a bit and then just give him more time to digest then usual. As my boas mature I generally feed them a bit larger meals less frequently.

[Mighty Monty]

What do you recommend i feed him? I already feed him the largest rats available? Do i move to something else? or should i feed him 2 medium rats at a time?

I appreciate you helping me with this, thank you.

[JimiSnakes]

He's 4 ft and eating the largest rat you can get? They are probably a medium size then. Do you have pics? With a size reference?

[Mighty Monty]

Maybe it's just the largest rats that Petco has to offer i guess?

I'll try and take some pics in the next couple of days of both the snake, and a rat.

[JimiSnakes]

I don't thing the pic of the rats will be necessary, lol. Just put him next to a soda can or a dollar bill.

Hi - I was hoping someone could explain the brown redish liquid I noticed on 9 month old ball python. He shed 2 days ago. I'm scare he may be sick

I was going to say.. are you sure those are Jumbo Rats?
The largest size I can find in frozen online are these boys.
