    Feeding the Balls Pythons Extra!!!!

    I am currently watching my brothers 2 Ball Pythons Ecelon who is a male.Spider Ball and Pastel who is a female Pastel Ball Python. There.eating well traveling in their tanks well going from the cold side hides to their hot side hides sometimes i catch them in transition other times they have already moved. But they are eating well i feed them in a separate box outside their tanks which i call Death Valley. They eat live mice so my question i want them to reach there full growing potential they eat every 5-6 days ig wanted to give them an extra mice after feeding them the first mouse would the first mouse in there belly would it interfere with them.constricting the second mouse?

    My personal opinion is if they are still hungry they will eat, if they aren't hungry they wont take another.
    my female pied wont switch to rats, so she eats between 2 and 4 mice a sitting which is about every 5 days right now.

    I agree that two mice per feeding probably wouldn't be an issue... as long as we are not talking about feeding hatchlings two adult mice.... that's why I asked
