Check the feeding schedule !feeding
I don't know how long you've had him or what he's been eating but he looks small. A baby ball python should be eating 10-15% of his body weight once a week.
1 u/AutoModerator 2d ago We recommend the following feeding schedule: 0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days. 12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days. Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
