i have a ball python that is about 12 inches and i am feeding it live mice and i am just worred that i am feeding to much i have given him 2 small adult mice i gess my question is: am i feeding it too much cuz it seens hungery all the time tho should i bee feeding it more?

They can be fed once every 5-7 days an appropriate sized meal. Adult mice are fine, but without a weight it's hard to tell you what size you should be feeding it (not length...weight).

How often are you feeding? How old is the snake? Do you know roughly how much it weighs?

I don't really see a problem with feeding two mice if he'll take them. I feed my 3 month old bee rat pups, which I guess would be roughly the same as two small mice. Snakes generally are opportunistic feeders so they always seem hungry.
