Baby ball python help here

Question

how do i get a baby ball python bigg fast. i dont want it to be unhealthy. but i want it just to get pretty big fast. no negitive stuff.

Answer 1

Ok sweetie, I do not recommend trying to get your ball fat fast. It's unhealthy for them. Too they will only get approx the max of 4 to 5 feet long if that. Balls generally get 3 to 4 feet full grown.

If you want a big one already then just buy an adult. You will harm your snake sweetie if you feed him fast. They can develop calcium deposits and get really sick. You have to give their body time to digest properly.

Good luck, I hope this helps.  

Answer 2

You will only harm your snake if you power feed it. Let nature have control over the speed your snake grows. Do not feed it anything larger that the width of it's head. Feed only once a week. Two hoppers a week should be plenty depending on it's age. Please don't rush your snake.  

Answer 3

Before you attempt to do this, I suggest you read up on power feeding -vs- maintenance feeding, and be aware of the health issues you can create for the snake by power feeding it.

Once you've done your research, call your vet and ask for their opinion on the topic.

Answer 4

The animal will grow at the rate it should grow. I fail to see the convenience of power-feeding. Do not try to power feed your python, or try to give it larger prey just so it can get big. On the long run it can cause some health issues such as obesity. Just feed the snake with the adequate sized rodent once a week and it will grow just fine.

Before you know it, your snake will be 2.5-3' in length as ball pythons in their first two years grow like weeds.  

Answer 5

keep with the two hoppers a week...that is just right for him, feed them on the same day one right after the other.  there really is no point to power feeding any snake...it really isn't good for them in the long run.
