    i think it's kind of hard to over feed a ball. if they're not hungry they won't eat. one of my girls is still stuck on mice and we're trying to get her up to size by next season. i've always been able to tell when she's hungry because she'll just chill there with her head stickin out of her hide. when she's not hungry she'll be way in the back of her hide, but EVERY time she has her head hanging out, she'll eat. sometimes i'll feed her 2 mice on feed day, she'll refuse the third one, and then she'll be hangin her head out of her hide 2 days later ready to eat some more. lol

    Between every 3 to 4 days to 5 to 7 days depending on the animal's age/size, sex and time of the year.

    Yes, a 4 day that young is appropriate.

    Depends on the snake. My babies grew 50-100 g a month.

    Once I had 4 female hatchings born in the same month that were fed on the same schedule. The oldest is the smallest. The youngest outgrew the other 3 by double the first year.

    The older 3 averaged at about 500 g by year 1. The youngest was at 1200g at the same time.
    Every snake is different.

    My girls are averaging just south of 100g a month. In the upper eighties, lower nineties.

    Up to 500g I feed every 5 days (I do my best to try and remember!) and adults get every 7 days (females) or 10 days (males)
