    Re: I am over feeding my snake

    yes it is. your snake needs time to digest his food. you should feed him once a week (pick and day and make it your feeding day) and you can even skip a week once in awhile... it's good for them!

    You have 1440 minutes a day... how are you going to spend yours?

    Yes.You only need to feed them either once every 4 to 5 days for babies and once every 7 days for subadults and adults.

    You can feed multiple prey items the same day but not spread out over days. It doesnt give their slow systems time to digest.

    Very well put, i can understand how people would confuse being told 3-4 times once a week, and once 3-4 times a week.
