    Oh, I don't know, these Pythons grow at an astonishing rate when they're very young. You'll know if it's too much, she'll regurgitate it.

    I once had a phyton that eat like that when it was younger.
    Once she got older she cut back on it.

    I figure,if she eats it,and seems is in healthy shape..it shouldnt be much of a problem

    if it's a baby... give them as much as they want!! as long as the snake is fully digesting, you don't need to worry, it's only going to turn it into growth!

    I had a Ball that did that until it got older to and bigger...........
    It also ate an extra large rat when it was about 36inches long, I mean this rat was huge, and it took it about 1-1/2 hours to get it down and then didn't eat for like 6 months........any way just wanted to share that......
