Hello! So I adopted a 2 year old male ball python from a animal shelter, they were not really equipped to care for him, he was 84 grams when i got him, it has now been about 8 months and he weighs 288 grams and is eating like a champ!! I am now feeding him thawed mice once a week. We worked our way up from tube feeding at the veterinarians, to pinkys to where we are now! I am unsure if I should be feeding him less? Some people have told me at this age he should be weighing more then that and I should still be feeding him weekly. Other say I am over feeding him and I should feed him rat pups every two weeks. I don't want to over feed him, but I also am not sure if he is still growing since he was so underweight when i got him. Thanks so much everyone!!! Again 2 years old what the shelter told me, and he is about 3 feet long now.....hes my first snake and a great boy!!
