I hope he holds his appetite through the colder months...Originally Posted by Valyndris
That's awesome, it's such a good feeling when your ball python eats especially if it's been a while (the like to fast a lot usually during winter months). They grow so fast when they are little. They go from fitting in your hand, to fitting in two hands, then fitting on your chest, and just quickly outgrow this to become a neck snake or even a belt.
I know it takes a couple of years to really reach full size, but it's still crazy how big he's gotten in such a short time. He definitely can't fit in the palm of my hand anymore.
I just took him out for 20 minutes or so (I check tank temps every day. He was exploring and wanted out anyway). I can definitely feel that extra weight. As I held him, I saw a blackish bulge towards his tail end...and I'm happy to say I got him back to his tank before he pooped on my neck. Not today XD
