    Re: 200 g ball python

    I have mouse eaters and rat eaters and don't find that one or the other really promotes growth more if the mousers will take multiple mice when they should. Sometimes it takes them a while to eat 2 or 3 mice at a time, while a rat eater will just be eating 1 appropriate sized rat. The only advantage of feeding rats that I find to be a big plus is that with rats, you only need to feed one throughout their entire life. A hungry 2,500+ gram mouser can easily put down 6-8 mice at a time.

    I have had my normal for around 2mo she is 200g and I'm feeding two 20g mice. Is this overfeeding?
