    Ball python eating twice in 2 days

    Hi all, I have fed my normal a large weaner on Saturday and my other snake a small weaker on Friday.

    My other snake seemed to be roaming about and as I think small weaners are a tad too small for her I thought there is no harm in trying to feed her a small weaner again today (Sunday) to see if she is hungry, she refused but my other python looked very hungry, she was in strike mode and following my hand so I decided to feed the small weaner to her, she took it straight away which means she has eaten 2 days in a row (large weaner and small weaner) she is about a year old and just came out of shed.

    She hasn't eaten for 2 weeks prior to this weekend due to the fact she was in shed.


    Obviously this is not something I will be doing everyday but just want to know if this ok

    Here she is:

    No harm in an occasional extra

    When I bought mine, the pet store guy told me he hadn't eaten this week. So, I fed him, and he took the mouse just fine. I later found out he had eaten the day before without the guy knowing. Anyway, he was perfectly fine. I'm sure yours will be ok

    I have a girl that is an eating machine. If she's still looking hungry and one of my other snakes has refused their rat I give it to her sometimes.

    Same here. My Enchi and Mojave girls have never refused a meal or a snack which is good because I'm hoping to pair them up next year.
    Cheers, Jeff
