I'm betting that snake feels like I do after a Thanksgiving meal!

I normally feed every 7 days, I'm not going to feed him this following Friday, but the one after

just wanna throw is my 2 cents. If the store you get your rats from dosen't have what you need go to another store. sometimes you gotta skip a feeding if you can't get the food you need. its ok the snake isn't gonna die. i'm from long island too. where do you go to get your feeders?

D&J reptiles in north massapequa... im sure you've heard of them, i would have just gone to petco but several people there told me with the size snake i have a med rat would be fine, it was fine, but i wont do it again... if it was up to me from the get go i would have gotten the small rat

I know them very well. I've been very un-happy with there feeders and been going to petco for my frozen feeders.

matt u need to come to my crib and ill show u how to properly feed the snakes. that rat was too big...

In his defense he has already stated that he doesnt intend to do so again so I think its a bit unneccesary for everyone to say the same thing over and over. He said he normally feeds small.....

Same here the few times I bought feeders there they were way over priced. Luckily I've finally switch my one live eater over to frozen thawed. I never really got that warm and welcome feeling at D & J. Don't even get me started on their approach when I gave them the info on HR669 last year either.

Hope he doesn't regurgitate it.

Ball pythons as adults don't need much more than a small rat, especially at 11 months.

Really? I just got rid of a 3yr old male that was 1500g empty and would eat large-jumbo rats every 10 days. Barely left a lump. He would poop and be right at his previous empty weight for well ove a year and a half. And I have seen adults almost twice his size. I would feel bad only feeding them small rats.
