Hi there, I recently got a ball python about 2 weeks ago. His/her tank temp is finally great, she has a tank set up I wouldnt mind living in! I feed her a small mouse 9 days ago which she took with no problem. I would like to feed her again, but she has not gone to the bathroom yet. Is it safe to feed her again? I dont want to over load her and I read about food roting in there bellys. Tank temp is from 90-78 depending on which area. I have a humidifier which she loves to lay under and she is acting great. Any help appreciated, thanks

First I would raise the low end temp a few degrees. And yup its safe to feed them every 7 days. Barring any serious problems it will go in due time, so no worries.

If you're feeding mice, every 4-5 days is more suitable; poop or not.
