Re: Feeding guidelines. Hatchling to adulthood

33.33% of their weight is way too much food. The general consensus is 10-15% (I feel that's a bit much but it seems to work). I would plan on rat pinks or fuzzies for your bps.

Power feeding will drastically reduce your snakes' lifespans (and make for very poor breeders), so I would not implement your feeding plan if you want long-lived animals. Imo a 4,000 gram ball should be getting at most a medium rat, but the chances of you getting such a large bp is very slim. Most ball pythons can thrive quite happily on a small rat every 1-2 weeks.

Drop your hot spot down to 88-92F, but ambients seem ok.
