Question

How would i know if a mouse is too big or too small for my ball python?Is it normal that he is 3 months old and already feeding on small to medium adult mice?

What is your ball python feeding on and how old is it?

Answer 1

if the mouse is bigger than the widest part of your snake it's likely to refuse it..

it's always better to feed a mouse too small than one too large..

3 mo old and eating adult mice is too large.. try something like a hopper at most

Answer 2

the size of the mouse doesnt matter, as long as it will fit in its mouth, your ball python will eat it, and its pretty hard to find a mouse thats too big because snakes can dislocate their jaws to make something fit into their mouth.

also, you should be feeding it about once a week.
