Ball pythons are carnivores, and need to be fed meat on a regular basis. How Often Should I Feed My Ball Python?
It is best to leave a ball python alone to eat and try not to disturb it at feeding time. It can be very difficult to get a baby ball python feeding on its own. Ball pythons are often very shy snakes, and they are nocturnal, so they do best if offered their prey item at night, in the dark. Based on the size of the python and the ease of finding food, this tends to mean rodents in captivity; the vast majority of ball pythons are fed on either rats or mice of a suitable size. Some ball pythons feed better in a small paper bag.
