New Ball Python Owner. Checking in.

Nice set up. It looks very nice.what your feeding her seems rather small.good rule of thumb is to feed her 10-15% of her body weigh but sence u don't have a scale give her a meal size as big at the thickest part of her body. She will plump up nicely. She's a beautiful looking girl by th way.

Welcome to Florida! I'm on the opposite side of Florida from you but I'm sure there are a lot of good breeders over there as well. Your setup looks great! I wish I could give all of my babies that kind of enclosure but I'd have to live in a shed if I tried to do that lol. Although, I have been thinking about making a big enclosure just for them to "stretch out and roam" for short periods of time. It seems like you've done your research which is refreshing to hear and it's nice to know that the normals are still appreciated :gj:.

As far as feeding size, if she's 600g then rat pups are pretty small imo. I would go with a weened or small depending on how the rat breeder sizes their rats.

I should note she's eating two a feed (the pups I have weigh around 30 grams each give or take) untill what I have is used up. She's not just getting one :p

thanks for the comments ! Loving florida so far. Just can't wait for repticon. I have an addition two animal plastic setups ready to go, just need to find somthing to live in them :D

Very cool! I bet she's glad you have her now!
