    Most people either feed young BP's on a 4 day feeding schedule or a 7 day feeding schedule.

    Saturday and Tuesday is ok, but they really should be at least 4 days apart. The easiest is to just feed every 7 days, I personally feed my young ones every 4 days then once they weigh 500 grams they get fed every 8 days.

    I got mine for $15 you can get them at most grocery stores or Walmart

    This is what I use:



    Just make sure it can measure in grams as that's what we use in the snake world

    Walmart typically has some digital scales in the $20 range.
