Re: I'm now a ball python owner.
Beautiful pastel mate, looks like a great setup.
I would try to get her on rat pups.

I have some adult females who would tell you that they are just fine being on mice. Their 2500+ gram bodies are quite happy on 3-4 large mice every 10 days or so.
Sometimes rat pups are easy to obtain, most times they're not. On a weight basis, mice and rats are exactly the same.

I like rat pups...
www.bigcheeserodents.com has packs of 25 rat pups...
One rat pup is perfect size for my nearly 300g boy.

I'm sure they taste perfectly fine. I've never had one. *snort*
One large mouse is a perfect size for a 500+ gram male. Bigger than a rat pup and I get mine for 15 cents a pop from American Rodent You can like rat pups all you want.

Re: I'm now a ball python owner.
The last shipment of "adult mice" I got from Mice Direct were rather small... less than 20g most of them.
I like to feed a little more than 10% of the snake's body weight... ah well, to each their own.
