    Re: Ball python weight gain, is this normal?

I would continue feeding her as you normally would and see how everything plays out. Chances are she will bulk right up with the rest of your balls. As long as she is eating well, I wouldn't worry. Got any pics of her?
    I don't have a pic of her right now, so I will take a pic the day after tommorow as its very late here now and I have a full day tommorow. I'll probably give my balls that ate tonight a day and then take pics of all of my balls and upload them. I just realized that I had raised some balls and I never took any pics of them so I may as well start.

    My friend told me that he did feed frequently, every 4 to 5 days he said. But he did use only mice until the very end. So maybe that's it. He also never weighed the mice exactly he just said "approx 40 grams" by eyeballing, so...

    I guess we'll see. And thanks for all responses so far by the way.
