Feeding Ball Python (And Other Pet Snakes)

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

My niece has several snakes, and she showed me their feeding time routine. I helped her to feed a ball python and other pet snakes.

Feeding a Ball Python

All of my niece’s pet snakes are used to eating frozen/thawed food, and since each of them require a mouse or rat in a different size, it makes their feeding easier to handle.

For me, this was the first time in many years since I held a snake, and the first time ever feeding a ball python, so I got really excited.

Here are the snakes that she got. The ball python was the most impressive, but the hognose snake was my favorite. It’s so cute!
