BP Update
Hello Everyone!
I wanted to give to guys and update on Olive my new BP.
Olive is doing amazing, she has a wonderful personality, and I'm very thankful to be her owner!
As for her terrarium, she has been really enjoying her night time exploring and seems to have settled in.
Last night she did her first shed with me and it is was all in one piece, which I think is good?
She went pee and #2 last night, her #2 was inside her hide, is this normal?
Also, today I went and bought her F/T mice at the pet store ( small mice ) and it took her around 3 minutes to finally grab it and then she gobbled it up! Does it usually take them so long to grab it?
Thank you guys for all the help and advice you've given me before and after her arrival! You all were great.
I'll definitely give more updates ( and hopefully pictures!!! ) I'm going to try and get Tapatalk

Congrats on a great first shed!!! Now keep your husbandry on point and she should continue to shed well for you.
...and congrats on your first successful feeding!!
To answer your questions...yup, perfectly normal all around.

Glad she's doing good, hope she stays doing well for you.

Yeah, the only reason I'm trying it on the computer is that my phone isn't working the app for me...
I might be getting a new phone soon, so until then, I'll have to wait.
I actually thought of an idea...maybe I could use my mom's phone!

Olive has eaten 3 times now since I've had her! Her third feeding was this morning.
I also weighed her. She was 159 grams on her first weigh-in, and today she was 174 grams!
Do you guys know the average weight gain of baby ball pythons?

Does anyone know the average weight gain a young BP should be gaining?

Unfortunately there are too many variables to really say what they "should" be gaining. Prey size and frequency being the biggest variable.

OP: as long as there is a steady gain and you keep moving up in size as the snake grows, then it's all good. every snake is an individual.
