    Rat Weight

    Quick question. How much do the rats that you guys feed your adult ball pythons weight?

    Rat Weight

    About 120 to 150 grams for females, even to 3000 + grams females.

    55 to 75 grams for the males.

    *Note: I do note weight them I have raised rats long enough to gage their weight.

    Depends on the girl and what rats I have on hand.
    I have some girls and 2 males that will eat a couple large a week.

    Awesome! Thanks for the replies. So is it okay to feed my small old male a 60 gram mouse each week?
