    Feeding schedule?

    I am feeding my female who is 290 grams every 7 days, the rats I feed her are roughly 40 grams, she eats only one then I let her rest for 1-3 days before handling, she is eating great and never misses a meal, should I keep feeding on the schedule I am now or more often or less often? Her temps at perfect! 88-90 on hot side 79-85 cool side, she has 2 hides and fresh water everyday, very active at night and early morning, we have a digital thermometer and humidity gage from Walmart, we switch between the ceramic non-light bulb and red to the ceramic non-light and blue every other week, she seems comfortable... Should I leave the feeding or change it?

    If she's eating, growing, and generally healthy why would you change it?
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    This. I would just give her 2-3 days after eating before handling.

    Re: Feeding schedule?

    If it ain't broken don't fix it. Like bcr said, wait at least 48 hours before handling after a meal.
