    Irma

    So Im in central Florida in the path of irma. My sons snake had his last rat last weekend and I didn't want to order more f/t in case shipping was slowed or they were ruined due to power outages. Im not overly worried about husbandry since it is hot and humid here anyway but more so how long he can go before he needs to eat again.

    If it helps, Im not sure when he was born but I bought him in March at 70g and he is 370g now. He eats a pup every 7 or 8 days. I considered live mice from the pet store but he doesn't like mice and I don't need one for a pet.

    You'll be fine to let him skip a few feedings. Might even want to wait and see what Jose does before ordering that next batch of feeders.

    He'll be fine to skip a few meals while the storm passes. Stay safe

    I definitely wouldn't feed now in case the power goes out. He can go 2-3 weeks without eating.
