By the way, they don't NEED to be on 5 day feeding schedules. They could be on 7 day or 10 day feeding schedules. We put them on 5 days so they grow at a better rate for our purpose of breeding them.
Yeah, unfortunately the guy I buy my adult mice from is pretty pricey. & no offense but I disagree with putting snakes that are in this particular condition on a 7 or 10 day feeding schedule. They need the extra weight. But thanks for the suggestion anyways!

I totally agree with you about the feeding schedule. They need to put on quite a bit of really weight so I'm sticking to the 5 day cycle.

Oh, many times I've tried to educate & inform her on how to take care of a ball but it goes in one ear & out the other. She thinks she's more informed. Lol.

Well I have a feeling they will end up in my care ultimately. Btw, he's a very beautiful pastel! Congrats on the rescue & glad to hear he is in good hands!
