    Joanna gave you a very good summary of what to check . . .

    Robyn is a guy!

    I also agree, go over Joanna's post and check everything. I also feed no larger than a small rat (40-50 grams or 3-5 weeks old) to any of my ball pythons, and my largest is over 3000 grams. A year old snake does not need a medium, large or jumbo rat.
