    So happy!!
    So after 5 long weeks, my ball python finally ate!! I wasnt so confident at first so i bought a smaller size mouse and she took it!! Im glad about that. She is 360 grams. I want to try upgrading her to small rats soon (:

    P.S. what website has the best frozen rodents? Im expanding my collection. and running to the petstore all the time is a pain in the butt:rage:

    At 360 grams I'd do rat pups for starters. You might want to try buying at a reptile sale/show if there is one near you. It can save you a lot on shipping.

    I'm glad she ate for you. :banana:

    Before you run out and stock pile frozen rats I would do two things: 1.) Make sure she's eating consistently for you and 2.) see if she will take a f/t rat pup. Some BPs like mice and don't want to switch and if you stock pile frozen rats and she won't take them you could find yourself with a lot of rats and nothing that will eat them.

    As Redneck_Crow said, a reptile convention/show would be your best bet for now. I used to buy a months worth at a time from the pet store until I got enough BPs that I could legitimately fill a shipping box from Rodent Pro and know that they would only last 4-6 months. I think frozen rodents start to go bad after a year or so (someone can correct me on this, I only buy enough for a few months).
