Babies will generally eat after they first shed which is around a week after hatching. I am not super concerned about the number of feedings. First, this is the number of feedings that were actually tracked. Since it came from a pet store the number could be BS to the positive or the negative. What matters is does the animal appear healthy. Post a picture. We can tell you pretty quick if the animal appears as it should. I strongly adivise you to take a look in the care section on this board. By the questions you are asking there may be many things that you need to know. There are also tons of resources on the net that explain a ball python's life cycle and feeding habits. This is a super easy animal to take care of, but being informed keeps you out of trouble. Congradulations on your new animal. Beware, they are addictive. There are very few of us on this board that have just one.

I am finding uploading a pic impossible. Samsung Galaxy J5 Android? How do i go about this? Thanks btw

download the app tapatalk. you can upload directly from your phone

Also, just for reference, my boy Tyson is roughly the same age as yours. he is eating a lg adult mouse every 5-7 days (closer to 5 most of the time) and weighed 167grams as of 2/9. I'm guessing the feeding/shedding info you got is BS. Seems like very few feedings. I would think a BP that ate that little would be scrawny, but who knows what the truth is...
Anyway, glad you found the site, upload some pics when you can
