    First feeding photos of my new baby ball

    New to the hobby and forum and this is my first posting in the photo section, I go these pictures of his second feeding since I got my new snake, Im feeding him small adult mice and I was wondering if you had any comments on the feeder size, he took it down fairly quick with no issues, he has eaten two of this size in the past 4 days, he was on the skinny side when I got him, another question I had is can a snake over eat? He is a hungry little guy! glad he is eating well finally. Id like to know what you guys think!

    The mouse looks to be about the right size. It is possible to overfeed a BP. When they are young it tends to not be as big of a deal, but as they get older it can cause issues.

    I woud feed him no more than once every 4-5 days, but at least once every 7.

    Im planning on every 5 but I chose 4 today just to see what he would do, he took both meals very quickly and had no issues, Thanks again for the feedback!
