Not necessarily. Sometimes if they are skinnier in size but still bigger by weight that can mess up that amount. ;]Originally Posted by Cam
I will weigh him on Tuesday...I don't want to handle him tomorrow and make him barf
So 10-15% is a good rule of thumb for the BP's entire life or just when they are growing?
Thank you!
Take it by the rule of thumb of the mouse (or rat) size being about the same size as the THICKEST point on the snake. If the snake is a bit skinny, you can go down to a bit smaller than that.
It's not necessary to overfeed him, he will eat bigger mice than corn snakes at a younger age as corns don't get nearly as much diameter on their body as ball pythons.
My 120g year old male ball python is about twice as thick as my 5 year old female corn snake! :]
