    Question Feeding size

    My ball python has been pretty active recently, and I was thinking Beacsue she is hungry, I’m feeding her hoppers and the hopper is a little bit smaller then my thumb and the biggest part of my ball python is about my thumb a little bigger I would say , when I feed her I can’t really see a lump , and was wondering if I should size up ?

    Re: Feeding size

    Hoppers are too small for a BP. They eat hoppers right out of the egg for their first 3-5 meals only and quickly move up to small adult mice. Or you could try switching to rats and offer rat fuzzies.

    Either way, your BP is hungry and needs appropriate meals.
