Just curious about a couple things.
Hi all,
I have two random, totally unrelated, questions for you all.
I don't think it's anything to be concerned about, but just something I've been curious about recently regarding my snake. I feel like most of the ball pythons I see have much larger heads than my slithery friend Kaa. I'll try to take some photos of her later, so you all can get a look at her, but do their heads just grow more slowly / as they start to bulk up with age? I don't feel like her body is disproportionate to her head per se (that she's being overfed). I just feel like she has such a tiny head. LOL
She's roughly 2.5 years old, and about 3 feet in length. I haven't weighed her recently. I misplaced the scale I was using (:oops:).
Again, not really worried, but always have the thought cross my mind when I see other snakes at the fish shop I frequent because I feel like they have big heads. haha
Another totally unrelated question. Kaa prefers mice to rats. Even the 'small' rats I think are sometimes too big for her (or she thinks they are) so she refuses them (inconsistently - she's eaten a few). So I just feed her her mice and she's always happy to get them. She wont ever refuse the mice, even a day or two before shed. I was doing two large mice a week, but moved to jumbo mice since they're close to the size of the rats, so maybe she'll work her way to them. My question is whether or not I should still be offering two mice per week, but now just one jumbo and one large or two jumbos? I don't want to overfeed her, but I also don't want her to be hungry. She's pretty obvious when she's hungry so that's why I went to two large and then the jumbos, but I don't want to overdo it. (She eats only frozen).

Go off this feeding chart. Your best bet is to weigh it so u can tell what you need to feed it.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fb46aaa013.jpg

Lol Yeah, mine gets wriggly as soon as the scale comes out...Suddenly decides she’d rather not be the usual blob she is. What brand do you use?

I bought a cheap kitchen one fro. Walmart a lottle one cause at the time I only had the baby one that I ended up getting a big girl what she's like 2 years+ old and weighs like almost 2200 grams and it's probably about 3 feet long. I need to get a bigger scale haha. But I always put a big container on top of the scale turn it on and then I put the snake inside of it

Here a few photos of my snake that I promised:

I feel like her head looks proportionate to the rest of her (as far as balls go, but she just has such a tiny face haha)
She’s a weirdo and I love her(:
