Thanks guys,
I have already agreed to take this guys snake so its just too late to back out now. also, I would rather have an older snake.

really what I was just wondering is how often should an adult ball python be eating? I have looked alot online and some websites say once every three weeks and some websites say once a week. I just want to know what is normal and healthy.
it sounds like from what you're saying that once every 1-3 months is really bad, which was how it sounded to me.

also, I would like to wean onto frozen or prekilled but i understand if at that age it just isn't a possibility anymore.
again thanks.
