    Re: Ball python may be underweight! Help Please!

    Many of us use the free app tapatalk to share pictures. Super easy and free.

    As for feeding, mouse fuzzies are definitely too small. BPs eat hoppers right out of the egg, only for their first 3-5 meals generally and then move up in prey size.

    There are a few "rules of thumb" you can follow
    1) you want to feed an appropriately sized prey item, which is 10-15% of the snakes body weight
    2) you want to feed a prey item about as thick as the widest part of the snake.

    This chart is also a great guideline:
