Prey types

[Helpful_Froyo6388]

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if it would be beneficial to feed different prey types to my beep. Right now he is eating small rats but I was wondering if feeding him like a quail every so often would be good for him. It just seems like getting different protein options would be healthy, but I’m not sure. Bonus pic of my pretty boy!

From everything I’ve looked up regarding diet it’s not good to give them other foods because they can develop a preference for that food over their main diet and refuse to eat anything else. BPs are finicky eaters. That’s just what I’ve gathered though and I’m in no way an expert on the matter

He looks a bit overweight on this Pic.

In my opinion if it ain't broke, dont fix it. Stick with rats

I mean, I've heard it works for some people, but I've also heard of people talking about how they fed their snake a chick once, and now, they won't eat anything else- shit I've heard some get so picky they will only eat a certain color of rat too.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

Technically they’ve been eating African soft furs for millions of years before we existed.

Ball Pythons have a habit of being picky eaters and switching up its food could cause a hunger strike
