    Exclamation How often do you feed your BP?

    How often do you feed ur BPs?! I'm feeding mine a mouse every 7-8 days but I might switch to every 5 days if that's not bad

    You can tell, you just gotta know your snakes. Mine do different things. Some roam around looking for food, some sit perched at their hide door looking out, some try and flip their water dishes, etc.
    1.0 normal bp

    I offer every 7 days. I currently have 3 off food, and one eats every other week, but still offer every 7 days.

    I can tell my bp is hungry because she starts to roam earlier in the day than Normal. If she recently fed she will roam out of her hide around 11ish but if she's hungry she's out and about around 8pm.

    My dumerils if she recently ate is always curled under her water bowl. If she's hungry she always has he nose sticking out of the bedding waiting for a tasty little morsel to come by

    Re: How often do you feed your BP?

    there's more to it than how often you feed. hatchlings get feed more than adults and females get feed more than males. females who just laid will usually eat more to get back to a normal weight. and so on. so for me it depends on the snake.
