    Medium is rarely if ever necessary for a male. My male is 12yrs this year, eats a small rat every ~14 days and still fasts for months on end at times.

    Well when I got mine I did some research and it told me that I should feed my snake every 10-14 days. If I'm doing something wrong, please help me. I don't wanna lose my baby.

    Small rats every 10-14 days should be fine.

    There's no need to worry, as he looks perfectly round and healthy Im not very experienced so someone whos been keeping longer probably has some wiser advise. I would feed every 10 days but its really up to you. Ball pythons have adapted to be able to go of feed for months so a few days wont hurt him.

    Oh I kno. I used to have ball pythons and a albino red tail boa and he would sometimes go a month or longer without eating. I never have no issues with feedings.

    Nope. Need to see a vet or an experienced breeder to probe the animal.

    Oh okay. I'll have to take him/her to my local pet store and see if they can cause they breed their own snakes and sell them. Need to wait for it to warm up first here in Georgia.
