    Ball Pythons and growing

    I wish I Had a scale since day 1. I have one on the way in the mail now. My question is how fast do these things grow...I swear mine has doubled in thickness and grown 4-5 inches in the last 5 weeks...I take him out to handle him every 2-3 days. Last time I took him out was feeding on Monday afternoon took him out today and he looks like he's grown since then. Plus he is a lot less head shy. Also seems to now more wrap around my wrist and just kind of hang and look around,though he is still active. I guess he's growing and getting confident or getting used to me..

    what is your feeding scedule? what is the setup? do you have a scale to measure weight of the snake and the food items?
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    Feeding schedule is every4-5 days.. Med and large mice of late.

    cool side around78 and hot side around 86-88. UTH on warm side. One hide on the warm side and a hide on the cool side that he never uses anyway.Humidity Avgs 40. Scale on its way in the mail. I bought it from eBay Sat..I don't weigh food,I been going by fattest part of his body,watching how he swallows it. It's really common sense,I believe.
