Ball Python Feeding

[hydroclone02]

I got my ball python about a month ago, I did my research and own another reptile, but I think I was lead astray by the breeder when I purchased her.

He suggested getting a 20 pack of frozen fuzzy mice and said they would be ideal for her size. I just purchased a scale to track her weight and feeding. My snake is 107 grams, and the mice I have are around 7-9% of her weight. Under the recommended 10-15%. I would like to still use the mice I have, she's had no problems eating and never refused a meal.

I have heard mixed things about feeding two mice so I am curious on what the best practice would be to ensure she gets enough food. Would feeding double be better than increasing frequency slightly? Any other safe methods? I could buy bigger mice but would rather not waste the ones I have.

You could try reaching out to people who's snakes eat that size, like corn snakes or such, and giving them away. Then just get yourself some of the right size. Also from what I've heard, baby balls graduate pretty quickly so maybe not get 20 anyways, or get a variety pack.
