I've seen posts where a snake wouldn't eat because the color of the rodent offered was different than it was used to.

Yeah, I've heard they can be pretty picky. It is definitely worth it though!! :)

Yes, I have the zoomed heat mat, and I ordered the Zilla thermostat on Amazon. :)

Thank you, everyone, for responding!! You were all very helpful.

I will definitely give an update when I adopt my ball python, and maybe upload a picture(If I can figure out how to do that :) )

For when the time comes...many of us use the free app tapatalk to upload pics. Super easy.

For now you could share some pics of your Garter, Franky :)

I can't use tapatalk, is that the the only way? I don't see anywhere on here that you can select for uploading...

Hi all! I bought my first BP in Jan., she's right at 7mths, weighs 346g. I'm on the last pack of adult mice, (ordering rats Friday) my question is that 3 weeks ago I started offering her 2 each Tues. feed because she seemed still hungry and she willingly, quickly takes them. Tonight I swear I think she was waiting for a 3rd! I'm hesitant because I've never had one before. Obviously she needs rats, I think? But would it hurt to give 3 ? Any suggestions would be SO appreciated! Thanks :please:

You should start your own thread rather than randomly burying your question in somebody else's thread.

Figured it out! Here is a picture of Franky!https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...E=w478-h637-no

Sorry. That was the 1st time I've ever posted and needless to say, I have no idea what I'm doing here. Thank you any way :bow:
