5 or 7 days?

[decensored]

I feed my young ones on a 4 day feeding schedule, then when they hit 500-600 grams I move to a 7 day feeding schedule.

You are only just now feeding adult mice? And you started on pinkies? I have yet to see a ball python that couldn't eat hopper mice straight from the egg. Sounds like you should be feeding a little more. Are you feeding a rodent about the same size as the fattest part of the snake?

Agreed.

I feed 10-15% of body weight every 5 days for babies, 10% for juvies/ sub adults, and 5-10% for adults. People tend to feed adults every 7-14 days at 15% body weight. I believe in feeding every 5-7 days, and smaller meals. A scale is going to be one of your best friends when it comes to owning ball pythons.

NOTE: I feed ASF to most of my girls so to stuff them I am looking at 4 or 5 ASF at a time for my bigger girls. It's a lot of work for both of us, LOL
