Re: ball python first feed tips please :)
Thanks i will pick some up for next feed. I'm going to feed in his viv i think. I think i will get a better response. I've always had better responses feeding my lizards inside viv rather than in a rub. Should i be concerned about him eating aspen though?

Kill the prey/ thaw the frozen. Before you go to bed, lay the pray in front of his/her enclosure and go to bed. It will be gone!

You might want to wait until night time. I am dealing with a picky eater, and I've found that many times if I turn out the lights and leave him for an hour or two, then come back, he is 'hunting' in his tub. That's when I'd expect to get the best feeding response.

Just my opinion, but after much q&a with breeders and other members, she's def not a fatty Bp's should be a round body, not pointed towards the top or triangular. personally, if I was looking to buy a snake and it was only 120g at 6 months old, I would pass, and fast. She is a very good grower, but the very lightest I would want / think was healthy, would be a 300g at 6-7 months. I'm not saying your snake is unhealthy, but to me it seems like if it is infact round bodied, it's a very slow grower, which is fine too.
She is most definitely not fat. She's pleasantly plump, and my best grower
My mojo,about the same age, is only 450g (he's about 6 months).
