Another feeding question!

My 2 year old ball python is around 900g, and I've always used the rule of feeding him 10-15% of his weight weekly.

Is this rule continued regardless of the weight of the ball. Say; a 2000g ball would be fed a 200g feeder? Or is there a maximum that is healthy to be fed to the python?

The largest rat that I feed, regardless of the size of my snake, is a small medium (about 140-150 grams).

Thanks! thats what I thought.

Sorry for the late reply my internet has been down this week.

I feed mine 150-160g but wyhen it's comes to breeding 200-220g!

I agree with Robin. I don't go any higher then a medium rat. I feed my 2400 gram girl 120-150 gram rats every 7-10 days.

Same here. My 2200 g male gets fed 120-150g every 7- 10 days. And sometimes I may go up to but not more than 170g...
