    Ball Python Feeding Question
    Hello,

    Today is my ball pythons feeding day. I haven't been giving him a big enough meal I don't think, so today I'm gonna feed him 2 large mice. I'm not sure how to do this exactly. Do I just offer the first one and then when he's got it down offer the second?

    Thanks for the help!

    Yes, wait until the first one has gone completely down.

    Ok thanks! But it's okay to feed the same day right?

    Yes, after the first one is completely down, go ahead and present the second one.

    It's perfectly fine, I've done three rats in one feeding. I usually wait until they reset their jaw to offer the next.

    Why not just switch him to rats and feed him 1 appropriately sized meal? Will be easier and cheaper the sooner you switch. Otherwise, like others have said, just offer him one and when its gone and you see him doing the little "S" wiggle pushing the mouse down into his stomach, offer him the second one.
