    1st feeding for me and my Ball Python
    Hi guys, in "introduction" section of the forum I said that I'll try to feed my new baby BP today for the first time (his in my care and mine feeding snakes), I was very anxious b/c I've heard stories that some don't want to eat when moved in strange new environment, etc..
    Well I tried,
    I thawed a fuzzy, warmed it up in warm water and tried to feed Kundalini (my BP) :) and at first he didn't seem interested, so I dangled that fuzzy in front of him for another 10 seconds, than he started working his tongue, and than BAM, he nailed it!!!:banana::taz::banana::taz::banana:
    I was so happy, so I took few pics of his first "kill" in my care!:D

    Here are pics:

    I took these pics seconds after he nailed that sucker! :D
    I hope you enjoyed, and leave a comment if you wish.:bow:

    So this big of a prey is a good size for him this big?
    It did looked to me like he took it with an ease. :)

    While you might be able to go a little bigger, you're not at the point where it's too small, and sometimes sticking to the smaller end of appropriate size is better for first feedings. I wouldn't stock up on that size too much though as you'll probably be up to a bigger size before long.
