    Switching feeding days and need some advice

    Hi all,

    Well I usually feed Wednesday nights, it was the most convienent at the time a long time ago. We were always going to be home and you know the deal. Well that is no longer going to be the case and I was wondering how I should go about switching to Sundays. Heres where I stand

    I fed This last wed.
    Both Snakes ate
    Should I feed Thursday next week, friday the week after, sat. the week after and then sunday the following week? Or would that be too stressful having a different day for the next few weeks?

    Or should I just skip this next wed. feeding and wait until next Sunday?

    I want this to be the least stressful for both the snakes and less frustrating for me. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks everyone,
    Kristy

    In all honesty it won't matter one bit how you do it. There will be no stress on the snake regardless, so whatever works best for you. Personally I would just feed this sunday and go from there. You could just wait till the following sunday. Just like in Pirates of the Carribean, the code of feeding every seven days isn't really a code, it's more like guidlines, lol.

    Lol I love Pirates of Carribean thats funny.

    Okay, well I am almost 100% sure they wont eat this Sunday. So I will give it a try. If not then I will wait a week. Thanks, I just wasn't sure if it would stress them out.

    We all know what stressed out balls can be like

    Sorry bout that just couldn't resist. Hopefully it didn't do too much damage. My mom spilled coffee on her keyboard at work once and it fryed the whole computer :eek:

    Kristy I wouldn't worry about it too much. Change does stress snakes but skipping Wednesday and just offering the next Sunday and every Sunday after that will be fine. As long as they are healthy snakes a few days wait surely will not hurt them and they'll just be all the more ready to eat come Sunday evening.
