Ok I just bought a ball python from a couple and they hyper fed it .. It's massive and I don't want to continue the habit . ( they fed a rat a week) can I just modify feeding or do I have to do it gradually ? I never hyper fed any reptile before and personally don't agree with it . She's my scale baby and we want the best for her any advice is appreciated. On a another level she's apt to bite I know that pythons aren't normally like that but I was told she bites a lot .. ( she's only got me once when I caught her unawares)
