When do you feed your snake(s)?

When do you feed your snake(s)? I'm curious to see when the best time to feed is

[pavlovk1025]

In your case, feed them when theyre tagging your fingers. =P

Juvies every 4, sub adults every 7, adults every 10. HOWEVER, everyone is now on a 6-8 day feeding schedule in prep for the upcoming season. I try to feed every Saturday but sometimes I have to feed Friday or Sunday as I have things to do besides thaw rats out all day.

Hatchlings every five days until they start to consistently refuse on that schedule, then everyone's on every 7 days.

[nicktreb]

I go 3-5 days unless they refuse food.

[TheOtherLeadingBrand]

Once a week, no matter the size or age, though I've never had hatchlings. Once I raise my own feeders, I'll vary it if someone is shedding or something.

[Freakie_frog]

Hatchlings get fed every 5 days till they hit 500+ grams then they get switched to every 7 with everybody else.

[Lolo76]

I generally feed all of them every 7 days... kinda have to feed them on the same day, since they eat live (and I only have 3 snakes right now). I also have limited options on where to get the rodents, so it's sometimes determined by when I'm in the right neighborhood!

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Depends on the snake.

Hatchling it can be every 4 to 5 days or every 7 days

Adults once a week

Females prior to breeding season (starting end of august) every 5 days.

[Gkwon]

Every 5-7

So, why do we (general public) so often hear about snakes eating once every month or so? Heck, one of the Craigslist ad snakes I enquired about was fed once a month.
