Underweight rescue ball python help.

[bcr229]

I was thinking of feeding it 2 adult mice every 5 days for the next 10 - 15 days, then 1 50 gram rat every 7 days till its body condition improves. All the vet said when I called to set up my appointment was take it slow till the appointment. Does this seem like a good "take it slow" schedule or should I change it up.

This sounds fine. The only other advice I have is to offer the feeders wet - if they are f/t then thaw them in warm water. That will help with additional hydration.

If you don't have any Nutribac then I'd suggest getting some. It's a reptile probiotic and it helps to re-establish good gut flora after a snake has been underfed/neglected, or after being treated with antibiotics. Just dust a bit of the powder on a damp f/t feeder.
