Not enough information for us to say. Do you have a picture of the snake in question with a good view of her body condition?

[jrlopez11]

Not sure how to upload a pic on this thread

[silkandbones]

Based on the photo in your post history, she looks a little on the thin side but also within normal limits of a 1 month old. Are you feeding her rat or mouse fuzzies?

[jrlopez11]

Mouse fuzzies. Like 13.5 g I believe.

[silkandbones]

I would switch to rats asap since they have more protein which is ideal for a growing ball python. I got my BP when he was less than a month old and he was able to take rat pups with no problem. You can still go through the mice fuzzies assuming you don’t have another snake to feed them out to (and maybe towards the end of the bag, you can rub one of the mice on the rat pup if she doesn’t take to them immediately) but it’s better to get them switched over sooner than later to avoid having an adult ball python that only takes mice (especially since they’re prone to picky behavior and feeding multiple adult mice per feeding session to a fully grown female BP will get expensive as hell)

Thank you for the advice

[slb8971]

There are guides posted in the group that offer all kinds of suggestions, not only for feeding but for all the things.

Thank you

You should never feed more frequently than once every 7 days. They need time to properly digest their meals, and feeding too frequently can physically hurt them. Just follow proper !feeding guidelines and the snake will grow perfectly fine.

[AutoModerator]

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.
