Over feeding??

[DmD]

Hi Everyone,


Have not weighed my ball pythons before, and decided to do it today. My female ball python hatchling was 72 grams when I bought her on the 14th of August last year. Today she weighed in at 420grams!! Am I overfeeding her?

Some grow faster than others.
The questions are:
How much are you feeding?
How often are you feeding?

I am feeding her once a week, on a small rat

[PitOnTheProwl]

Sounds about right to me............though others with more experience will chime in later too.

You are doing just fine with what you are feeding and how often you are feeding.

Sounds fine to me. Like others said, some will grow faster than others. You may be feeding her a bit larger than average, but it's no biggie. Power feeding isn't going to kill your snake, if you are worried about that.

Am I overfeeding her?
