Ball python feeding

Hello forum im new to this forum and id like to say hi to everyone:) i got my first ball python on november 4th of last year and my second one on march 3rd this year. i feed my ball pythons on Saturdays and Tuesdays is that alright if i feed them that much? and sorry if i dont reply right away im still getting use to this:)

Most people either feed young BP's on a 4 day feeding schedule or a 7 day feeding schedule.

Saturday and Tuesday is ok, but they really should be at least 4 days apart. The easiest is to just feed every 7 days, I personally feed my young ones every 4 days then once they weigh 500 grams they get fed every 8 days.

thanks man for the reply. how much does it cost for a weigher to weigh them?

I got mine for $15 you can get them at most grocery stores or Walmart

This is what I use:

Just make sure it can measure in grams as that's what we use in the snake world

Walmart typically has some digital scales in the $20 range.

thanks guys i will defiantly be looking into getting one as soon as possible
