Today I got a ball python I named Madison to add to our growing family. Here are 2 pics!

Nice Ball python though she looks a bit on the thin side. I would feed it every five days untill it gets some meat on it and then switch to every 7-10.

Nice snake though

I agree, Im a softy at heart, that is exact;y why I picked that one. Another one I consider a rescue. He just shed 2 days before. Ill get him or her in shape. Thank you both for the great comments!

Good on you for taking him/her in. Hope you get him/her up to size. What are you planning on feeding it? I have also taken in skinny snakes and so far all the ones that had been underfed in the past ate rats for me no problem. I think they were so hungry they ate whatever I offered!! LOL.... Good luck and keep us posted on Madisons progress.

She's a beautiful little girl -- I'm sure you'll get her fattened up in no time

Congrats on your new addition...

Thank you all for your wonderful support! I put a mouse in tonight, so far no luck. But Ill just have to wait and see what happens. Balls can be finicky, I just hope this one is not. I really dont think it can afford to be. Im going to set an appointment with a vet just to get her check up. If anything is seriously wrong, Ill do what ever I have to. Im also sending an email to the rep for Petland advising them of this. They really need to deal with this, train their workers better.

Thank you all again!!!
