Re: Are we feeding to much?
I have read somewhere that captive balls are over fed no matter what.. in the wild they do not eat as much as they do as we have them as pets...

I agree. We are worried that we are feeding him to much for him to be healthy. Of course the other option is we could have been lied to, he could be female.

The largest prey item any ball python will ever need is a small rat. Maybe you could post a picture of your snake. If you continue to "overfeed" him, he will most likely go on a fast.
Re: Are we feeding to much?
from what i have learned a BP can live a happy long life on a small rat every 7 days. snakes are opportunistic eaters in the wild, if its there they will eat it. but if you do feed them too much they will go off feed for unknown periods of time.
