Ball python Feeding

Ive purchased my ball python a few months ago and looking at her (or as far i know her) feeding chart from petco shes spent about 6 months there, and only about two in my own care. So i'd estimate shes about 7 months old depending on how long petco keeps their snakes before they ship them out. She's a very good eater and will eat anything i offer her in before shed and also deep into shed. I feed her right now 1-2 hopper mice and im not very sure if thats big enough for her or if thats what she needs.

Im about about 6 feet and she's as long as my legs but i feel she should be much larger around, shes kinda skinny but has a huge appetite. shes about the width of my pointer and middle fingers and the fattest part of her body.

does this look like the right size and what size mice and or rats should i be feeding her at this stage in her life?

I keep her in a 30 gallon terrarium at the time being until she grows out of it. i keep the heat at a steady 85-90 degrees and humidity around 50-60, i have a vine for he to climb on a log to get under on the cold side and on the warm side with a heat pad under the tank i have a hide. i also keep the water bowl in the center of the tank.

thanks for everyones time and if you cant see the pictures sorry i tried my best to get them on here.

Your photos didn't show up. A good rule of thump is to feed her a rat or mouse the size of the thickist part of her body. She will plump up quick by doing so.

You need to upload your pictures to a third party site before linking to them on here (http://photobucket.com/ is a common one). :)

Without being able to actually see your pictures, my guess would that she'd be on weaned rats (3.5-4.5" body, 35-49 grams) about every 4 days.

Sounds like way too small a meal for a 7 month old snake. As an example last night I fed my Coral Glow, who hatched on7/5/14 a small to medium sized mouse and he pounded it down no problem. His weight on 8/21 was 122g and I would guess he's already added at least another 10g's. (I usually only weigh them every couple of weeks.) I also have a Mojave that hatched on 8/4/14 and is currently 90 grams and she took a small mouse the other night too. So my youngest animal, the Mojave, has already moved beyond hoppers without issue. I agree with Eric, at 7 months your snake should easily be taking medium to large mice or small rats.
