    Shed question and feeding questions
    So I took alot of time to research Ball pythons for over a year so I could care for them but cannot seem to remember a few things and hoped you guys and gals could help me out.

    How often will Ball Pythons shed?

    Right now my ball python is on fuzzies how long till I switch him to the next size food?

    Is there some sort of chart that tells me from size and grams what to feed and when to switch to the next size food portion?

    Thanks Kindly,

    Lance

    How old is your snake? How much does it weigh? The answers to these questions will help determine what size prey your snake should be eating. Your snake will shed as often as it goes through a growth spurt. If your snake is very young it will shed more often.

    Getting a weight will be very helpful in determining what your snake should be eating.

    There is no chart, per say. But the general rule of thumb is the feeder should be 10-15% of the snakes body weight. So, if the snake weighs 100g, the feeder should be 10-15g, and so on.
