    Smaller Meals while building?

    Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this. I've read that some people offer smaller meal sizes during the breeding season so the follicles aren't so squished and because the temps are lower. Just wondering if that is really legit or purely speculative. I've always kept feeding mediums until they refuse. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    Re: Smaller Meals while building?

    Hi,

    Intresting idea. I only ever feed small rats to my adults and, if anything, try and feed them more often when they start building.

    but then I never vary my temps either. Did they say if their snakes ould eat smaller meals after ovulation?
