How often should a ball python be fed?

During its growth period, feed a ball python once a week, one pinky mouse, about one-tenth of its body weight. Adults can be fed once every two weeks with an adult white mouse; do not disturb it for 1 to 2 days after feeding to avoid vomiting. Feed regularly and never blindly.

In addition, do not feed birds, whose sharp beaks can scratch the python’s intestines.
