    Fed ball python on Thurs......
    Fed my female ball on thursday and was thinking of feeding her again tomorrow. Only thing is she has not defecated yet. Does that matter with BP's?
    She is approx. 2 months old, I dont have her weight due to lack of a scale. Also where can I find a good scale since were on the subject.:)

    I always feed my adults 7 days a week and my sub adults/babies every 5. It is fine if they dont defecate because they suck the mouse dry for its nutrition and have a slow metabolism so they usually wont defecate they food they at the week before in a week, what they do defecate is from a few feedings ago

    It does not matter. Feed them weekly. They'll poop when they need to, just like you and me.

    I would feed a bp that young every 5 days! They won't poop too often at that age! They are growing so much that they absorb most of the food they get. Once they are an adult, they need less feedings and they poop more!
