    Bought python is her size OK?

    I bought a ball python from a couple, the said they had had her for 2 1/2 years. when I saw her she was small, heathy but small. About a foot maybe longer. What should I do? That seems small to me.

    Seems small, but a picture would really help. BP size varies so it's more of a matter of how they look rather than how long they are. See if you can get a pic next to something for scale.

    Without a pic or any information it's hard to say.

    Best thing to do is weigh her if you can (in grams).
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    That sounds crazy small for that age. Are you sure it's even a ball python? My albino female is about five or six months old and she's two feet and not overweight.
