    Feeding 2 days in a row?
    Well yesterday i fed my ball python a medium mouse. He"s about 3 & a half feet long so i felt the mouse was way too small.

    Is it okay to feed him 2 days in a row?

    (Sorry for all the feeding questions)

    It is fine. In the future, feed him an appropriate sized prey. If you can buy him a rat that is no wider than the wides section of his body.

    Feeding 2 days in a row as a one time thing won't hurt. In the future, if you want to feed 2 (or more) mice, just offer them in one feeding. Wait until the snake has finished swallowing the first, then offer the 2nd.

    You can try if you would like but I would just wait until next week and feed him two mice at once.

    Also, a good rule of thumb for feeding is 10-15% of the snakes body weight.
