is my snake still hungry?
so my second feed was a success! my beautiful bumblebee ball python has fed twice now and let's me slowly handle her. although she still strikes when i attempt to gently grab her but i'm assuming it's because she's still a baby and scared. she hatched on october 4th, so still a baby right?
but my question is i dont know if i fed her enough. as of right now shes eating what the pet store calls them, common mice. i assume hopper maybe? but they are a good size for her, about her width if not larger. my problem is, is no store around here sells live adult mice or any type of rats. my personal preference is live not f/t. i understand when she's an adult she might need to take in 3/4 of these, is that stressful on them? i just don't want to feed frozen i think live is more appropriate for them. but she took the mouse like a champ than resided to her warm hide. but her neck is out of the hide arched up on a log like as if she is looking up to the top of the tank, like hey dad i'm still hungry.. is she wanting another mouse? thanks guy! hope everyone had a good weekend.
