    Ball Python Eating

    I have 3 ball pythons my male went off of feed for probably 3 months but finally started eating again. My youngest one ate one time since I've gotten him, he's still a baby. He hasn't ate in maybe a month and a half should I be worried or just wait it out? He's still very active but I didn't know if it would be different since he's so young. Thanks and I hope I get a reply.

    If a ball python is being very active, that is a sign that there is a good possibility something is wrong. Please check your husbandry against this caresheet.

    As to your specific question it depends on what you are classifying as a baby. Giving a weight and a picture of the animal will help us help you.

    A picture of your set up would also be good! We might be able to spot and trouble shoot if there is something off.

    Re: Ball Python Eating

    He is in a temporary 10 gallon tank, temp in cool side is 75-80 and heat pad is set on 92. Humidity stays around 60, and it's the same with my other 2 snakes. It won't let me post any pics for some reason, but it's a simple setup with aspen bedding and a hide and a water dish.

    He fits in your hand not very big at all, not sure on the exact weight, but is a healthy looking weight, not skinny looking or anything.

    Go to walmart..get a cheap kitchen scale. You will be asked for weight alot around here if you ask these kinds of questions..its hard to help you without tht info as well.
