He was only being fed twice a month. Do i need to up it to weekly ?? hes about 4 foot long and about two inches(i guess) in diameter
A 55gal may be too big for that snake.
Is that a BP? It almost sounds too large.. Snakes like to feel secure, having them in a big environment can cause stress. An Adult ball python shouldn't have to get anything bigger than a 40gal long at its largest. 30gal is recommended and if small enough, a 20gal is do-able.
