point and laugh at him..lol
Ok seriously!
2 jumbo mice sounds like enough to me, I'd say it probably just has a strong feeding response, you could offer it 3 but I wouldn't go over that. But that's just MO

Re: feeding
he's on 2 jumbo mice a week because he won't eat a rat. he's round enough to take a rat he just won't go near it. i feed him frozen and when i put a rat he will not eat it but when i put a mouse he goes right to it

If it's a male, 2 jumbo mice a week is plenty.

2 jumbo mice a week should be fine for most females as well ... unless the animal is extremely large. Many of my adult girls eat 2 large mice a week and they are thriving. What does your ball python weigh?
