Yea, he was hungry for sure haha.
I was wondering, sounds like dumb question but what do you do with the poop and pee that the mouse made while getting fed to the snake? I didn't want to reach in there to clean yet because he just ate. The only reason I am asking is mouse pooped and peed a lot and I don't want it to raise humidity. Last time ball python peed, humidity went up to 90% overnight. I'm sure it won't be that high but I know it is going to raise lol

Leave it for now. That tiny mouse pee wont do anything to humidity. Then tomorrow you can wipe it up with a paper towel if you want but dont handle him for 48 hrs.

Now leave him alone again until next Friday. You need three successful feedings with this little one. Get him on track before handling.

Alright, he has to digest so I won't even bother even if I spot anything weird that ends up being nothing lol. I am not going to handle him till couple more feeding. Btw, it seems like he might be going into shed soon.. Last time I took him out for inspection (about that mouth thingy), I saw his belly of kind of pinkish but his eyes didn't change. So I guess belly color changes first then eyes go into blue after a week or so?

Yea will do. I am on 7 day schedule but while I was doing some research, I saw most people on 5 day schedule for young ball pythons. Is this any beneficial? I guess faster feeding = faster growth but I will probably stick to 7 day schedule lol

[Sunnieskys]

I have always done 7 day feeding.

will do will do, less cost anyways without hurting the snake

You need to stay on 7-10 day for now. This little guy took a couple weeks to feed already so you want him hungry before he decides not to feed.... Then you'll be all out of sorts again.
