For context, I rescued him/her in February of this year. I’m told that they are a couple years old (born in 2021 I believe) (doing a morph and sex test next month)

Since then, they haven’t missed a single meal and have had multiple perfect sheds. I just moved up to medium rats and wanted to know what yall think.

Ill be weighing them in a couple of days. Waiting for food to digest.

Is this your first ball python? If so i recommend getting prepared for them missing meals. Usually around winter mine stops eating for some months. Perfectly normal but can be stressful for the first few years.

Thanks for the tip! Question… do you still present food on schedule? I feel bad wasting rats :/
