Need advice on a ball python rescue

[redshepherd]

Thanks for the advice! I plan on following the care sheet, and it lines up with everything else I've read. I was also leaning towards a tub, just as a cost saver, but it seems a lot of people actually prefer them.

One additional question on feeding. I know feeding every 7-10 days is a normal routine for balls. Since I'm getting a potentially malnourished guy would it be advisable to try and feed him a little more frequently to start? Like maybe trying twice a week for the first week or so? Or is that not a smart decision?

No, just feed him on what would be a normal schedule with appropriately sized prey. You want to ease him into a normal feeding schedule, not stuff him all at once. (He probably won't take it twice a week anyway)
