    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.

    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....

What size do I feed?

I have a Ball that's 90 grams. I feed him two mice fuzzies a week. But lately he seems to be hungry a few days later. Should I be feeding him something bigger?
 
I never offer a ball anything that small. I start mine on weaned mice or rat fuzzies as their first meals.
So yes, you probably need to be increasing the prey size.
 
When I go and get mice/rats I take a piece of string put it around my snake to measure the gurth of her so I know how big around she is. I take that string and cut it off where I need to then when I go to the pet store I put that same string around the mouse/rat to see how much smaller or bigger it is. Usually I get a little bigger then my snake is around.
 
I've been feeding him extra lately. This info should put me back to feeding just once a week. I have smaller corns, so the fuzzies won't go to waste.
Thanks for the help.
