Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you only supposed to feed your BP food that is as fat as it at its mid section (or fatest part)?

I have no idea, I'm new at having ball pythons, and I went to petco and that's all they had, its really not that big tho, looks like it on the cam.

I'm willing to bet dollars to doughnuts your snake will regurge so please be vigalent. I'm not going to critisize too much because i'm a new owner and made the exact same mistake a little while ago. try younger pray items, I myself will by offering up a rat pup tomorrow and hope this feeding experience goes much better.

Hi,

I would make certain the temps stay at the right levels - using a digital thermometer rather than the little dial things I saw in the video and maybe leave him an extra day before handling or disturbing him if you can.

She's doing fine, I haven't bothered all day and I'm not gonna bother her for another 2 days. Thanks for the comments.

Yeah that mouse you fed it looks a bit too large...and yes you are supposed to feed the snake a mouse no larger than the girth of the snake at its fattest point

can your snake make a nice tight coil after that or is he basicly laying in a straight line? also look at the scales and make sure they arnt separated enough to see skin between them

Hi Drew im only responding to this post now (as i didnt want to repeat what everyone else has stated) because of the apparent attitude that your last post proclaimed (in all caps) if not one but a few people have the same idea when viewing you video dont you think there is something up we as hobbyist and breeders have a multitude of knowledge and it might be smart to take heed and know we arent bashing you we are just giving you a bit of our knowledge as a community i assume thats why you joined BP.net.
