My ball is estimated to be around 9 weeks old and is 113g pre feeding last feed. Your guess is as good as mine but 3 weeks ago a local breeder guessed she was about 6 weeks old, and was within a few grams of one of his 6wk old babies...Originally Posted by Evenstar
I don't know how old your ball is, but if it's a hatchling, then every 5 days would be fine - for the Ball Python. But if it's an adult, you should stick to every 7-10 days. I feel my adult ball pythons every 2 weeks.
Every 5 days is far too frequent for baby boas. As I said before, breeders will feed even neonates (just-born babies) every 7-10 days. There is no way to feed so she'll grow "as fast as can be done healthy". Forget that idea. The more slowly your baby grows, the healthier she'll be. Boas naturally grow fast. You'll be surprised at how fast. In 2-3 years, she's gonna be quite impressive.
You will never know too much and will always be learning! We are all still learning! Ask away!
Well it sounds like I will be changing the feeding schedule a little bit.
Thank you
