4-5 y/o BP thats still eating mice ? I have a feeling thats one underweight snake.

[JASBALLS]

I Have adult females that eat mice...

[Jeanne]

I have 3 adult ball pythons, that are not under weight, that ONLY eat mice because they are prey imprinted. Mine are 2 males and 1 female. They eat 2-3 mice every 10-15 days average for them.

Nothing wrong with adult ball pythons eating mice. I have an adult female that eats 8-10 mice a week, others eat 2-3 ... ya gotta feed them what they like!

I think he ment it's malnurished because it's getting fed one mouse per week.

[Python-77]

aye, thats what I went 1 mouse doesnt even leave a bulge in my yearling so I cant see it doing much for a full grown adult.

When you consider that in all likelihood ball pythons in the wild only eat a handful of times a year, I personally wouldn't make the assumption that a snake eating mice 52 times a year is necessarily malnourished. But that's just my opinion of course.

We like our Ball's eating well and meaty here.

I think we all like our balls eating well but you have to feed them what they will take.
I have a bp that will only eat a adult mouse about every 7 days, period
I have tried everything and this is simply his deal.
My bp is a healthy guy and not under weight, at least that's what the Vet thinks.
Open minds and new ideas are great things.
