Hey guys! My name is Jack. I am currently volunteering at my local pet store. I help out with the fish, and the reptiles. We currently have 5 BPs. One is big (4'), another is medium/large (3'), the other big one is 3' too. There are also two small ones that seem pretty young to me. They are only about 20". So far all I've been doing is feeding and cleaning whenever told to. The tanks used to be bare with only wood chips on the bottoms but after some research I learned they need more than that. I have recently placed (in the tank with the small ones) two bottom less shoe boxes with holes on each side. One closer to the heat lamp and the other on the other side. I also put in a rock directly under the lamp. This stays warm and she likes to lay on it. I also put a long stick from the bottom left corner to the up to the right corner up high in the back. I recently claimed the female (and named her "Amarillo"). She's still for sale though. I'd like to do the best for her.
Here are my questions:


1. We feed all the snakes every 3 wks. The bigger snakes get small-medium rats (4-7 in depending on the snake). The smaller ones get hopper mice (they're a little less than an inch). Ok, so what I've read is that the young ones should be fed 1-2 times a week. Is every 3 wks a bad idea?
2. What else should I do to make the snakes more comfortable.
3. Any other tips?


So in the end, I actually don't OWN any snakes, I just care for them.
