    How often do you feed

    Just wondering how often everyone is feeding.

    Say newborn to 200g
    200g - 1000g
    1000g upward

    Anything under a year I'm usually feeding every 4 days. Over a year 5-7, might switch back to 4 if they are still small. 1000+ grams depends, males are usually every 14 days, females are every 7, but if they had eggs and need to gain weight, they are back on the 4 day schedule. That's just my practices in a nutshell.

    Oh, and I'm breeding, so this is a heavier feeding schedule than people who keep bps for pets would do.

    Re: How often do you feed

    Usually I'll feed every 5 days for hatchlings until about 250-300g ish, depending on the size of the hatchling, of course.

    After that I put them on every 7 days.

    This is what I do for my pet bps.

    Depends on the animals some get food every 5 days until they reach 250/300 grams some don't, after that it's once a week for everyone.

    Once a week for everyone, so it's one shot for all.

    I am feeding mine every 5 days. How old are most snakes when the reach the 200g weight? I know it varies, but a rough idea.
