i have had my BP for a week now, and tomorrow im going to attempt to feed him for the first time. since he stays hidden for most of the day is it better to feed him at night when i see him or try during the day? also im going to try frozen food, what is the best way to defrost them and how warm should it be? any advice will be helpful since im new at doing this and i want nothing but to be a good owner to ROGER-AKA-my new buddy
Yes, you should feed your ball python during the evening when they are most active and in hunting mode. To defrost the rodents you can put it under a heat lamp and allow it to defrost slowly without cooking it. Once you feel that it's warm inside and not too hot you can try to feed it to your snake. What I do is dangle it by the tail and let my snake grab it. Hope that helps! Good Luck!
