How much should i feed?

[Keithward]

I just got a ball python this is my first she finally ate after about 1 week of getting her. I fed her one pinkie im wondering if this is enough? I did offer her a second but she showed no intrest. When i got her from pet smart they were feeding her 2 pinkies. She is very small.

Pinkies are way too small for a BP. They eat hoppers right out of the egg for their first few meals, typically only 3-5 meals, and quickly move up to small adult mice.

How much does the snake weigh? She may be ready for small mice.

Feed an appropriate sized rodent every 7 days. Typically you want the meal to be as large as the largest girth of the snake.
