    Great to hear that things are working out for you my snake (had him for two months) is also eating like a champ. I’m confused tho cause rat pups I’m getting (at least that’s what they’re called where I’m getting them and it seems true to the other resources) are usually 12-16 grams. And then weaned rats are like ginormous so it almost feels like there is this huge gap in between. Cause my snake is ready to eat something bigger but definitely not weaned rats. Is there anything in between? Like a 20-25 gram rat would be perfect. Or is it just my local reptile store that doesn’t have those ever?

    Re: My Newbie Ball Python Story (so far)

    I will recommend to you what was recommended for me.
    If you are able to do so. Go to Online Breeders like
    "Layne Labs" or "Perfect Prey" they have any size you will need, and you can buy in bulk.

    And as far as size transitions go...
    For awhile when Charlie was 250-350grams i fed her two
    15g Rat Fuzzies before i bumped her up to one 35g Weaned rat (i didnt think she was quite ready yet, weaned rats can seem massive compared to your tiny snake). Just be sure he is eating enough but not to much!
    And soon he will be Pounding Weaned rats like Popcorn!
