Should I feed more?

[George1994]

Feeding is an instinctual behavior. Mother Ball Pythons don't teach the neonates how to constrict and eat prey. If they didn't know what to do, they would die (some do in captivity) They're on their own from the moment they hatch. And seeing as his snake is four months old and he just got it two weeks ago, I'm assuming it's eaten before.

I have seen a lot of juvies, for the first few feeds of their life, still not quite knowing what to do with it. They strike, that I believe is very instinctual, but after that, they all seem to go their own way about things. Learning from experience.

Depending on the breeder, they might have sold it to her after just a few feeds. Some don't make sure they are eating and shedding well etc before just offloading their animals.

Not arguing with you, just saying that each case is a far from the same, especially when you bluntly tell a person 'That isn't how it happened!' within the first sentance of the post haha.
