    Hungry
    I have had my ball python for over a month, she has sheeded once since i had her about 6 months old (2 feet long). I fed her 1 small mouse tuesday. Todya she had been hitting the top of her cage, like she trying to get out. She lets me hold her, but after a few minutes she wants explore. Could it be possibly the she is still hungry? Any help wold be great!!

    Ball pythons are notorious for trying to escape their enclosures so that activity isn't always a sign of being hungry. Regardless if they're hungry, just stay on your feeding schedule. There's no need to feed more than your schedule permits.

    ok thanks. I feed her 1 small frozen mouse every 5 days. when would it be a good time to go to medium mice? I know that if it is the size of her thinckest part of the body.

    A 6 month old BP should be eating something bigger than a small mouse.
    Do you have a scale so you can weigh your snake and then find an appropiate sized meal?
    Also when you feed her does it leave any kind of bump?
