feeding issues

[ballpythonsrock2]

So I guess where my confusion might be (corrected rat size, they are mediums) the chart says a female over 1000 grams would eat a medium. He is over 1000 (1187 when first found and he was a little thin, that info is in a reply but not in the original?). Is a medium still too big for him?

Mediums are definitely better than large. But if you are sure it is a male and not a female I would try to go back to smalls, they say offering larger prey can lead to refusals. I agree with moose if you continue to offer mediums every 2 weeks be soon enough. But I think in the long run you would be better to offer smalls every 7 to 10 days. Can you post a pic so we can get a idea how urgent your snake needs to eat?

PS Just noticed where you said in the future you would maybe get smalls, I think that will work better for you.
