    Is this normal?

    Hello,

    i was wondering if it was normal for a ball python to go through a rat pup in about a day? i would feed him and there would be a lump in his belly, then the next day it would be gone. is that normal?

    No that's completely normal. How big is your ball?

    At 116 grams a rat pup is sufficient. Mine generally lose the "lump" after a day or two.
