    Re: Is my ball python underweight or overweight?

    She is being underfed. She should be double that weight if not more. A medium mouse is waaaay too small as well. By 9 months all of my animals are on small rats and 500+ grams. She should also be fed weekly as well especially if she was being given mice. The animal isn't passing anything because it is using everything for nourishment. I haven't heard of snakes eating moss but in this case it wouldn't surprise me because unfortunately she isn't being fed appropriately. I would go to weaned rats every week for a month and then move her to smalls.
