Two weeks ago, my girlfriend found baby balls for sale, and bought two. She hid one from me and gave it to me as a graduation present two days ago. They where not taking to eating fuzzies so I suggested feeding baby mice. I fed her snake, which I believe was female. She hit and devoured the mouse within about fifteen minutes. She seemed fine as I returned her to her tank, the next evening we found her dead. She was about seven to nine inches long, and I fed her the smallest mouse I could find. Although her brother, whom remains fine, is slightly longer, I am afraid to feed him a live mouse, and will continue trying with fuzzies. I am really baffled by her death, and am seeking answers. I feel perhaps I was undereducated to the care of the Royal Pythons. I cannot seem to find any information on babies dying from feeding. Can anyone offer any information or suggestions? Was I wrong to feed her a live mouse so young?
