Re: How often do you feed your baby ball python's?
I'm on a 3-4 day schedule. They feed on sunday, then Wednesday, then the following Sunday repeats the schedule. I'll do that till they hit about 500g then ill go on a 5 day with 10 percent body weight meals. After they pass 1000g I will go on a 7 day, 15 percent meal.
Right now all of my snakes are less than 350g and eat every 4-5 days.
Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

You do know that the 10-15% rule is only for juveniles? Adults shouldn't be getting more than a medium rat worth of food a week. My mediums have been running around 150-175g...and I feed those to my 2200g ball python.
