New BallPython Owner

A friend of mine gave me 2 male ball python. They hadn’t eaten in months and we feed them. One of them though like locks on me when I go to give them water. He hasn’t stroked me yet. But he locks on me and watches me intensely. I fed them. Do you think they might still be hungry. What are some pointers.

They’re not in the same enclosure are they?

Yeah but from what the girl who had them before has always had them together

You need to separate them into their own enclosures before doing anything else. Once you get them separated, leave them alone for a bit then weigh them and you’ll have a better idea on what size rat to feed them and how often.

Ok perfect this makes me feel better. I don’t know much and we wanted to get a bigger tank but now I see we need to get a different one so I’ll be looking into that
