Hungry 6 month old

[Shelley1306]

Evening all,
My 6 month old ball python seems hungry every night bit I've been feeding her just twice a week as recommended. She was fed Thursday night and then also Friday night and has digested the two fluffs as we got her out today and could see.
Should I try and feed her more often if she seems hungry? Or are the fluffs possibly too small and she's not eating enough? They are the same size as her waist as recommended.

Thanks for your advice/opinions in advance
Shelley

Go by this feeding chart. If you are feeding her the right prey size you should only have to feed her once a week or once every five days. Make sure you are up to date on your snake's weight and you're feeding her the right weight prey and you should be fine.

Ok thank you!

At 6 months yes that's definitely too small your best bet is to go by what OneEyedFox said

way too small. Snakes can eat prey as thick around as their thickest belly area... easily. Their jaws detach and their necks stretch around food in incredible fashion. Most new snake owners feed too small, as they are worried the snake won't be able to swallow it... wrong!

BP eat hoppers right out of the egg for 3-4 meals then go right into adult mice. Fuzzies are way to small unless they are fuzzy rats.

How mich does your boop weigh?

She acts hungry cause she is. Just move up in size and you will be all good to go.

Well last night we fed her a rat pup as recommended...it took her 45 mins to get it down but she seems to be full so far so we will see how it goes feeding her the larger prey now. Thanks everyone
