    Hard to say about if that weight is normal because babies grow at different rates. It sounds right to me though.

    I feed the little ones and juvies every 5 days without problems.

    5-7 days is safe for a little one. Neither is better. I prefer the 5 day schedule to put on weight a little faster

    for me it depends on how i'm feeding other snakes. I have a baby pastel around 200 grams and I was feeding her every 4 days cuz i had two females i was bulking up for breeding season i have since switched back to 7 days cuz i have snakes breeding now. but the meals i feed are bigger then before. The pastel i was feeding a hopper which was 9-15 grams every 4 days now i'm on a every 7 day schedule i feed one weaned rat 15 to 25 grams every 7 days

    Every 5-7 days is a normal schedule for young ball pythons. I generally feed my youngins every 5 days.
