Ball python body condition and feeding trouble

[bcr229]

Interesting to hear that your middle-aged males eat like this as well! Mine is a little younger than middle-aged, but it's also possible he just needs less food now and I was overfeeding him without realizing it.

Yeah they're not growing any more so they just need to maintain their weight. I have a few 10+ year old males on small/medium rats that only eat 6-8 times per year. Some of my non-breeding females only eat monthly. The only BP I have now that will eat weekly is a female that threw the unexpected clutch of eggs a few weeks ago.
