    Re: how often do you feed your adult ball pythons?
    My big girl gets one small rat every 14 days, give or take. I know it's significantly less than what everyone else is feeding, but it's what works for us.

    If I try to feed her any sooner than that, she won't eat. Also, if I try to give her larger prey, then she will wait longer before her next feed. When I took her into the vet, he said she was right where she was supposed to be weight-wise, and that she was very healthy.

    I guess that's just more evidence that there is no *one* right way to do things in this hobby. ;)

    According to size, either a small or medium rat every week to ten days. They usually never refuse a meal.

    I feed my largest girl 1 rat small every 7-9 days. She's 2 years old.
    All my others are younger and get mice once a week.
