    feeding?

    Is it possible to feed your BP too mutch or should you feed them all that they will eat? I feed my females weekly and my males every two weeks does this sound right?

    I know ppl are going to ask how big they are and how old.
    I feed mine the right size mouse. I had a pinky left over the other day and offered it to one and he didn't eat it so I offered it to the piggy and he gulped it down.

    I would feed them both at the same time weekly.

    Ditto...unless you have a specific reason you are only feeding males every other week.

    Re: feeding?

    The females will grow bigger than the males regardless if you feed them the same. Two weeks is too far apart for feeding young snakes! If you don't feed the males enough then thay will not reach breeding size when the female do if you are planning on breeding! Why do you want big females and not big males?
