ball python care

how often do ball pythons shed, poop. and i was wondering is feeding 2 smaller mice ok? instead of feeding it a large mice?

First of all.

How old is your snake?

Length?

Weight?

When they are younger they can shed up to once a month and as they age they gradually shed less and less.

The size of the meals also depends on the size of the snake. A good rule of thumb is feed it a rodent as thick as the snakes thickest part.

Sometimes snakes poop a few days after they eat some may not poop until a week after. So that may vary as well.
