Hello everyone long story short I just acquired a ball python from a guy who bought it for his daughter 6 months ago from a reptile show to take home to moms house but she said hell no! I have had snakes before such as corn and king snakes but this is my first ball python. I quickly learned everything the previous owner was doing was all wrong such as husbandry. I received the snake is a glass terrarium with screen top which i know is very bad for them. I do now have 3/4 of the top covered up with plexiglass. I already have a animal plastics T3 cage picked out but they are 10-12 weeks out! I thought about going to the T8 which is 48in long and getting the divider because they are only 10-14 days out. when I received the snake a few days ago she was in horrible shed. I did the towel bath which got her to shed perfectly the next day. So now for the reason Im here. they gave me the rest of the frozen hopper mice which she should have been eating something larger according to mid body size. I fed her two of those 3 days ago. should I finish those off and feed her more frequently or just go get something bigger? I have 5 left. thanks in advance and also any input on waiting 12 weeks for the T3 or ordering the T8 with divider?
