Yeah, your Children's python sounds to be fully grown. I don't have any experience with the species, but if I remember correctly, an adult mouse every 10-14 days should be good. Perhaps someone else with more experience will come by and either confirm this, or remind me how horribly wrong I am.

2 mice isn't bad but if it is an adult I would make it every 10days, instead of every week. just me 2 cents

I have heard that rats are healthier than mice, but some people feed there snakes just mice. I guess it depends who you talk to. I feed my corn snake mice and my boas and pythons rats. |

Louise, no...mice aren't necessarily BAD. Rats are just a better choice nutrition-wise for snakes that are large enough to eat rats.
