    feeding

    Last two feeding my year old python been eating one large mice and one med mice. Should I keep doing that or moved to small rat? Doesn't even get lump or a fat spot while eating two mice.

    Seems like you should be fine with feeding 1 small rat weekly.

    It's up to you.

    I believe in feeding what works and what is convenient.

    An adult male can do fine with 2 to 3 adult mice a week and an adult female can do fine with 3 to 4 adult mice a week or you can chose to feed small rats.

    I have had balls become mouse-only eaters, so depending if you want to deal with that or not, my recommendation is always get onto rats as soon as you can.

    Re: feeding

    Also feeding one rat over a few mice saves you some money too. So take that into consideration.
