This is going to be my first BP and I'm very excited about finally owning one. I'm looking forward to learning more about them and getting to know everyone here as well.
Congrats! ... 1 mouse a week is PLENTY of food for a male ball python. If you start pushing larger food items on him he'll be much more prone to fast. I've got several adult males that eat 1 mouse a week and they are all in perfect condition.
