Hey all - since I am fairly new to the world of ball pythons, I was wondering if any of you have had this experience.
My bp is a juvenile and I have been feeding a small mouse every 5-7 days. I just fed yesterday night at day 5 and the past two feedings (he is a good eater, never refuses) he stays in his humid hide in the strike position like he is still hunting.
He was being under fed at the pet store (pinkies every 7 days) so I immediately started on small mice. He's about outgrown those and has had 1 shed already under my care.
My question is: Is it common for a bp to stay in hunt mode for a day or two after a feeding? Or is it from growth/hunger? I don't want to over feed and cause him to get "hefty".As of now, I have not monitored weight gain but plan on getting a scale asap.
