Yeah so i kinda saved this snake from some1 who didnt take care of it. nobody knows when it was fed last. It also hasnt had a heat lamp in a long time.
I just fed it today. Is 1 feeder mouse enough for a 3 and a half footer?

still cant belive sm1 would trust you with a snake corey

I owned a ball python when I was younger and you should feed him a lil more IMO. I used to drop 2-3 in my cage and het would always eat at least 2 right off.

depending on the temperature (i hope youre keeping it warm right now), i would feed one that size 2-3 adult mice. take a picture so we can see the health of the snake. does it seem thin? scales folding quite a bit, etc. until i see it, I cant say much definitively.

He's really skinny imo. But i fed him a mouse and i can barely see it in him
Ill take a picture in a lil bit

Its scales seem okay but idk much about snakes. I also had the light around him but he went under his log thing idk why...
Atm hes around my neck warm as can be lol

But when i got him he was cold to the touch

snakes will naturally hide when given the chance. just upload a picture and i can give ya a quick idea. ive got 5 snakes at the moment. some of mine can be found in the mouse thread here.

ok, snake looks ok. When they are cool, their metabolism slows quite a bit, and they can go longer without food. During winter months, i only feed mine once a month, and usually a smaller than normal meal. when it warms up, i feed them every week or so. that size will easily eat 2-3 adult mice or one small-medium rat. because youre unsure right now, keep the snake eating mice and if it looks like a healthy eater, try a small rat sometime. if they dont eat it, just freeze them for later. thaw and try again. and it should go without saying, but do not microwave a frozen rodent. ever. youd be surprised how many people consider it.

okay thanks

Hampsters are their favorite.
