    Nice job!!! I would stick to 7 days though. Especially now, since by refusing on day 5 your snake basically told you 5 is too soon.
    If you offer too often it can stress the snake and lead to more refusals.
    So stick to a 7 day schedule and you should be good to go

    I think adult mice are probably fine. It's tough to see in the picture, especially on my phone.
    Does the mouse leave a noticeable lump in the snakes stomach after it is swallowed?

    Ok, well you can try switching to rats soon. It's best to switch to rats earlier than later, anyway. This way you'll never have to feed multiple prey items. A male BP will be fine on Smalls his whole life, and a female will be fine on Mediums.

    But for now, you're probably looking at rat fuzzies or pups. Maybe fuzzies to start then pups after a handful of meals and some growth

    2 things I can suggest.

    1. needs 2 hides. One on each side, hot and cool sides. Definitely needs more clutter. Too much open space for a ball python.

    2. Temp and humidity gauge - accurites are a good choice to monitor.


    What's the wire running in the tank for?

    Hi,

    I have both thing to monitor the humidity and the temp.

    The wire that you see is the thermometer probe.

    For an hide at the cold spot would be a great idea I will look into it
