    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am not sure of the age of my ball, he is approximately a foot and a half long....I have had him for 3 weeks now. That being said....he has been a great eater, started off on Tuesdays and Fridays with a fuzzy. I have just moved him up to a hopper. Should I continue on the twice weekly feeding schedule? Like I said, he is a great eater and has eaten every time offered with no problems. I just don't want to over feed him.

Thanks,

Krista
 
I don't have a weight on him yet....I do have a scale, but will have to find it seeing as I just moved....

If he's only 80 grams, he's still a hatchling....well, hopefully! I feed my hatchlings mice as old as 7 or 8 weeks for their first meal. Of course some will shy away from something that big and I then offer those something smaller. I try to wait until they're 100+ grams before switching to rat pups. And I continue to feed a couple of times a week for as long as they'll take it.

Of course everyone has their own methods, but that's what works for me. Good luck with yours!!
 
He looks like a healthy snake! Any that I've ever gotten from a pet store (other than a reptile shop) have always been underfed an shy, but with a little TLC he should be just fine!
