    Help with feeding

    Hey All,
    I recently purchased a Ball Python and have received conflicting advice on feeding her. She is 133g.
    Should she be eating pinkies, fuzzies or grown mice? Also, how often should I be feeding her?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    If youre talking pinkie or fuzzy mice they are WAAAAY too small. BPs eat hoppers fresh out of the egg, and only for typically 3-5 meals before moving up to adult mice.

    You should be feeding one appropriately sized prey item every 7 days. Your options are small adult mice or rat fuzzies. And you should be moving up in size again soon.

    I have a million at this point but I guess I’ll start with the basics.
    BTW I’m also from MA (Sturbridge area). In NC now. Love the “lamp”!

    Hahhahaha, I love my lamp too

    Sturbridge is a nice area. I lived in No Brookfield for a very short time. I wish BTs Smokehouse was closer to where I live now!!!! Fantastic BBQ joint!!!

    Anyway, feel free to PM me any time if you have questions
