Is my ball python healthy?
This is my first ball python, and I wanted to make sure all is going well :) I just moved her up to hoppers, so she is a little skinny for the time being, but that'll change soon. Her warm side is at a toasty 88-90, her cool side is around 73-75, and the humidity is always around 60%. She's about 3-4 months old, and 1 1/2 feet.

Does she look okay?

Thanks! And I haven't weighed her, yet, so I don't know. How heavy should she be at her age/length?
Re: Is my ball python healthy?
Should she be on weaned mice or large mice? I haven't bought the hoppers yet, so I can buy the appropriate size when I go :)

Since I can't see her in person and a picture does not give me an idea, what you need to remember is that at that age and size you can feed a prey that is equal the girth size (widest part of your BP's body).
Once your BP get older it's feeding habits and metabolism will change but for now just eyeball it the best you can.
