Feeding underweight/thin baby ball python...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
have you called who you got it from and told them whats going on?Why not feed it today?
 
No because I got it at the anaheim show, and I didn't see any business cards on their table, they seemed to be very small time breeders.

I would feed it today, but I work till 7p. Herp shop closes at 6p, and tomorrow is my day off ;)
 
whoa easy there guy, don't get excited, it wasn't that kind of wink.
 
lol,well I hope the snake ends up cool.This stuff is very frustrating but you can only do your best.Let us know how it goes tomorrow.
 
Thanks Jason, I'll get a pic of him posted tonight so you can get an idea of how thin he looks.

I'll keep updating his weight, and start weighing his food.
 
Bath him tonight in some warm water just to help get his bowels moving and get some hydration in him. I would be feeding him two times a week atleast for now and stay on rat pups.

:ROFL:

I took the pics actually, I just fell asleep before I posted them. :)

I'm resizing them right now. They'll be up in a bit :)
 
Okay, I'm starting to think I was just being too anxious. His head is looking a lot better now, it actually has that hourglass shape compared to before his first feeding.

He weighs 76 grams now, but I'm still going to give him a rat fuzzy today.
