ONLY feed your ball dead prey. Live can injure or kill a ball python.
If you leave dead mouse in their cage overnight, after they grab it, about 15-30 minutes before it is eaten. They digest for 48 hours, so do not handle them in that time or else they may throw up.

∙ 11y agoA python can start on baby mice (pinkies) After their first shed which can be within a week of hatching or longer. They have to be atleast a year old before they can eat Juvenile mice (Fuzzies and Hoppers). Just remember a python can't swallow anything that is comfortably bigger than its widest part so don't try to feed it something too big

A ball python is usually 2-4 feet long with some exceptions that get 5-6 feet. I am sure there as been an occasion or two where a ball python as eaten another ball python but I have not ever heard of it (I am a breeder). King snakes on the other hand will eat any other snakes (even ones bigger then themselves). However except for breeding purposes, Ball Pythons should not be housed in the same cage they are loners and can become stressed and stop eating when housed together. They're possibly the 4th easiest snake to look after, followed by the corn snake, the king snake and the the milk snake.
