LMAO! I have close to 500 ball pythons. Some MAYBE 3-4 will get up to breeding weight in 8-9 months. The others are just as Tiny as Yours are.. Here is the deal, If they eat Feed Them!! I feed Small Rats to all of my breeders. Some eat one a week some eat two a week some eat four.. Pay less attention to the forums and more toward your snakes, And you'll figure it all out..
