    How old to feed frozen adult mice
    I have been feeding my BP f/t fuzzy mice for about a month now. im just curious as to how old u think she should be before i try to feed her an adult f/t mouse. Also, how would i know if the adult mouse is too much for her?....Thanks

    For baby ball pythons, I use the snakes girth to determine prey size. I will use mice or rats that are as big around as the ball python.

    Mid belly wise ,y female is fairly big, i'd say definately big enough for the adult mouse. However, neck wise she isnt as big as the mouse...Will this pose a problem with her swallowing?...=-)

    I've never experienced this problem, so I don't have an answer for you. Hopefully someone who has seen a problem will chime in here.
