    Feeding

    Is it safe to feeding after each poop? Or is that too much?

    For young BPs you should feed once a week. How old/big is your snake and what are you feeding?

    Some snakes don't do their business as regularly as others, so will poop every week, others with every shed. Establish a schedule of feeding eg 5 days/7 days depending on size and offer food on that schedule. Whether they have done their business is irrelevant

    How often or when they poop is irrelevant to me. I feed them when I feed them, everyone gets fed on the same day no matter who pooped or whose in shed.

    I have eaten while on the toilet and I made it through ok. I don't think it makes a difference for the snake.
