Hello,

New to the forum. Not quite new to snake keeping.
Had a corn snake and boa as a teen.

Someone gave me their Ball Python cause they couldnt take
Care of it anymore. She is suppose to be about 4-5 years old.
Ive had here for almost 2months now.
She just shed yeaterday for the first time since i got her.
The shed was all in 1 piece, so i assume that she isnt ill or so.

Anyway, the girl that had bought her as a baby told me she
Was fed mice(2) every 4 weeks. Which i think isnt all that much
Considering that its suppose to be fed weekly.

Ok so when i got her, i started feeding her medium sized rats.
Which she took without a problem.
I fed her when i got her, then she went into shed, till today.

I will continue to feed her rats, specially since i breed my own rats.

My goal is to breed her, maybe this year.

I wanted to know, she is a female, roughly 5 years old and is
About 4ft in lenght, sorry i dont have a scale, so dont know how
Much she weighs. She looks ok to me tho.

Will she grow longer, now that i feed rats?
Since i heard they should be bout 5 ft.

And what weight is ok to breed her?

And do i have to wait till next breeding season, or can i still do this one?

Thanks guys for your info

I have a picture of her in the viv in my gallery
