    Feeding Help

    Should I be feeding my ball python one large prey per meal, or multiple smaller prey per meal? She is too big for one mouse, but too small for a small rat from Petco. Also, If I am feeding her multiple items per meal, how often should I feed her?

    My snake is just shy of 3 feet. I believe that she is between 1"-2.5" in circumference.

    i would feed her one large prey item. if the rats are to big for her than you could look some where else for food. if you are feeding more than one small prey item i would continue on your normal feeding schedule. it also depends on the size of the prey item. hope that helps.
