Re: Feeding my ball python.. 3 mice???? What size?

Now, too big of prey and insufficient temperatures can cause the prey to rot from the inside out, which, if not regurgitated, will cause death in the snake.
At 650, 2 medium adult mice a week, is fine, especially for a male. If you want to feed him more than that, go ahead, but prepare for a fast. Even my adult males, 1000g plus, don't get more than 2 mice a week, sometimes less. If mice are easy for you to obtain, and the snake readily eats them, keep doing what you're doing. No need to fix what ain't broke.
Oh I agree completely but I cannot find the article now, of courses, but I was just putting it out there. Wouldn't you think the majority of captive (not talkin wild, they have ticks and mites in the wild but is that good?) ball pythons are fed appropriate meals, rather than multiples?? IDK not tryin to break your balls or nuthin at all.
