    Ball python feeding.. too much or ok?

    I have a year and a half old BP and I'm just starting to feed her 2 large f/t mice. She is 2 ft, 9 in. and has no problem taking down the mice. Just 2 weeks ago I fed her 2 large mice, and the first time I fed her the 2 large mice she shedded (shedded just last Friday and fed her again Saturday). When she gets to the right weight I'm going to breed her with my male BP. So is feeding her 2 large f/t mice fine so I could get her to the right weight for breeding, or, do I need to only feed her one large mouse? Also not sure how much she weighs.. I don't have a gram scale but I'm purchasing one soon. Thanks!

    At 2'9" it can be eating rats no problem. If you don't know the weight feed it something the size of the snakes widest point.
