Thanks to both of you. No, I won't be power feeding him. He'll get a mouse once a week. My only concern is his timidness. I know he won't eat live. So prekilled will be where I start. He could surprise me, but he has got to be the most timid ball python, I've ever seen. I was holding him last night when I got home with him. He just about wouldn't come out of a ball, when I did get him to stretch out, he would flinch with every one of my movements as well as his. He saw his tail move and he flinched and went right into a ball. It was kinda funny. He'll be fine. I'll feed him next week. Then we'll see where' we're at.
Thanks Again!
