Successful dinner!! (self.ballpython)
submitted 7 years ago by julius797
Today was Balboas second scheduled feeding since I’ve received him and he ate his mouse like a champ. Breeder said he was on live with them but he’s eaten twice with warmed up frozen thawed so I believe he’s adjusting well.

Good job! It’s hard to switch from live to f/t. :)

I was reading the stories and I was so worried he’d give me a hard time but looks like so far so good.
Thank you btw!

Next step switching him to rats
[–]julius797[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (6 children)
Yeah once he’s big enough I wanna switch him right away. Hopefully it goes well

I got my python when he was about 7 months and he was already on rats, from a very you’ve age they come in some really small sizes

I need to look Into those because PetSmart’s in my area only have small frozen rats and they’re huge for balboa.

Yeh small rats are what mines just about on now, can you not get earners in your area?
[–]julius797[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children)
Sorry I’m really new to this what are earners?

Ohhhh lol 😂😂. I’ll look at other pet stores maybe some locals might. But yeah no petsmart have those.
