    Re: new BP owner with questions

    Keep in mind that snakes are opportunistic feeders. They would, if they could or wanted to, eat anytime anything is offered to them and this could lead to obesity. (Please someone correct me if I am wrong) I suggest sticking to a set feeding schedule. Feed prey no wider than the widest part of your snake. I will be feeding my baby bp who is 158g every 5-6. Some keepers feed them only once a week.

    I also strongly suggest a uth with a thermostat. Ball pythons need more belly heat than overhead heat.
