mine grew up pretty fast, i think i fed her like 3 hoppers at the most, she is on adult mice at the moment and growing out of them fast... She is about 3 months old now at the most. She eats every 4-5 days.
Re: Another Feeding Question
They can move on to adult mice after eating hoppers for a few weeks. I would say your snake is getting enough food but could go for an upgrade. :P I would upgrade her once you get your scale and can measure the bp and the food. :)

okay that sounds good. ill prob feed it a few more times with hoppers then adult then maybe small rats. im going with the rule of the widest part of the snakes body. and you can check out this youtube video of my ball python so you can tell me what size you think he she should eat.
