Am I feeding my ball python the correct size?

I have one medium mouse left in the freezer, can I give her that on top of the mouse she already ate or wait off until next week as she is still looking around the tank for more food. I'm thinking waiting until next week but just asking for confirmation.

To feed two in a row you have to do it immediately or it can cause regurge because the stomach acids aren't potent enough after starting to digest the first. Go ahead and wait 5 days, feed the medium, and in 5 more days do a large.

Here is this to help you know when to slow back down to 7 days:


Unfortunately, this doesn't show more underweight than "slim", but if you look at her spine, you will notice how the skin kind of hugs it instead of a gentle slope. She isn't severely emaciated, but certainly underweight.
