    Ball python keeps biting me?

    As I'm sure everyone can tell, I didn't do nearly enough research before I bought her, but I'm trying my best to learn as much as I possibly can now.
    From what I've learned on here/research you may be UNDERfeeding her. How much does she weigh? At under 1 year old you should be feeding her ~15% of her body weight every 7 days. Also you want to get her on rats as soon as possible as they have more nutritional value, and almost any ball python hatchling can get a rat pup down.
